Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: There is no apse mosaic, which is unusual, it was lost at some point in history.
Replacing the apse mosaic is a fresco by Taddeo Zuccari, painted in the Mannerist style in 1560, and was allegedly copied from (now lost) contemporary drawings of the original mosaic. This was repainted by Vincenzo Camuccini in 1836, and was left alone by the 20th century restorers because of its alleged provenance. It shows Christ enthroned in glory, above the River of Life from which sheep are drinking, and surrounded by apostles and saints. Saints Peter and Paul are in front (note the papal tiara on the former), and Saints Sabina and Serapia are on the left. The head of Christ is surrounded by winged putto's heads, which is definitely not a palaeo-Christian motif. |
