# The Apostle Peter [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MEDIEVAL SCULPTOR, French]() - Date: 1051-1100 - Technique: Stone ## Commentary In technique and in general iconography the apostles in the Moissac cloister are closely akin to those in the ambulatory of Saint Sernin, but they are stronger and more vigorous in style. The pier is conceived as a stele, and the standing figure, completely incorporated into its support, is confined within the spatial framework of the arched niche. The face seen in profile is more realistic in effect than the frontal visage of the apostle from Saint Sernin; and here the apostle's attributes are clearly shown. ## Related artworks - [Ambulatory capital]() - [Ambulatory capital]() - [Annunciation]() - [Apocalypse]() - [Apostles James the Great and Paul]() - [Apostles James the Great and Paul]() - [Apostles John and Peter]() - [Apostles]() - [Ascension]() - [Bearded Man's Head]() - [Capital from Nazareth]() - [Capital of a column]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
