O soše

This is an alabaster statuette of St. Paul, made in Germany in about 1560-1570. This and its companion piece representing St. Peter (V&A Mus-number 6986-1860) probably formed part of an altarpiece and would have flanked either the Crucifix or the Virgin. Both apostles represent the joint founders of the Christian Church.

Alabaster, a fine grained form of gypsum, is a smooth marble-like stone that was popular for the carving of religious sculpture. Softer than marble, it was much easier to carve and also considerably cheaper.
