About the sculpture

This marble statue of a warrior saint, possibly Saint Florian, was likely carved by Artus Quellinus (II), the Younger, in Antwerp, in ca. 1670-1700. The left hand is held out at waist level and hollowed out to receive a cylindrical object, now missing, probably a lance.

The figure probably stood against a pillar in a church, and may have been part of a series. A similar piece of a "Roman Emperor" is in the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore.
