Image description

This founding figure of the Christian Church is from a group of eight pictures now in the Iliffe Collection, that comes from a set of twelve pictures of God the Father and the Apostles, originally painted for the town palace of Count Cesare and Fra Giuseppe Merenda in Forlí. They were Batoni's most dedicated patrons, commissioning at least 32 paintings from him between about 1740 and 1750. St Paul holds the sword with which he was martyred by decapitation, and appears to address us, in token of his great powers as a preacher. by Pompeo Girolamo Batoni
