Created: 1750-1760 Material, technology: hársfa, festett testszín, aranyozott ruha, karjai, attribútumai, dicsfénye hiányoznak Size: m.: 95 cm Description: According to tradition the statue of a sitting St Placid was located on the altar of St Benedict in the chapel of St Benedict. St Placid was a Benedictine monk and a pupil of St Benedict. He is generally depicted with staff and book. The quite expressive, ascetic face carved with strong lines; the contemplative, wide eyes; and the generously and loosely arranged folds of the sitting figure attest to the collabrorative efforts of a highly skilled sculptor. |  |
