Abstract (en)

In relation to the discovery that the bronze S. Peter (Rome, Vatican, S. Peter's) dates from the late 13th to the mid-14th c. and that it was originally polychrome, discusses the representation of S. Peter and the significance of the two keys as symbols of papal power and of the power of the clergy in the late Middle Ages; suggests that the statue may have served certain liturgical functions while the popes were in Avignon; also speculates as to the statue's patronage; and examines its original location in the Oratorio di S. Martino in light of discoveries about the viewpoints from which it was intended to be seen.
