Barb. lat. 2733\) ## Commentary South elevation of the nave, Old St. Peter's, Rome - Manuscript \(Cod. Barb. lat. 2733\) Biblioteca Apostolica, Vatican Folios 113v-114r shows the south elevation of the nave in Old St. Peter's in Rome. A series of paintings on Old Testament scenes was juxtaposed with a cycle on the life of Christ, in which the Crucifixion stood out by its size. The former series was probably executed under Pope Leo the Great \(440-461\), while the latter was definitely not painted before the early Middle Ages, perhaps in the seventh century. ## Related artworks - [Apse from the Old St. Peter's]() - [Tomb of Boniface VIII]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
