Remarkable Reliquary Altarpiece Style With 21 Relics - XVIII

By its dimensions, its quality of execution and the number of its relics, this is an exceptional reliquary. On a red background, this paper montage from the end of the 17th century or the beginning of the following century is decorated with an architectural altarpiece in six panels with its plinths, entablatures, columns and pediments. Many relics of Martyrs are included in this superb work. The antependium thus accommodates relics of the Holy Martyrs, Amati, Victor and Dignus.
The center of the altarpiece receives a raised engraving measuring approximately 8 by 6 cm. The two side panels present, in two octagonal niches, significant ex-ossibus relics of two Marytrs, Saint Severi and Crispiniani, and two other relics of more modest dimensions, Saint Crispini and Eustachi. Finally, the medallions on the upper panels honor fourteen relics, namely the following Saints: Innocenti, Liberat, Bonifaci, Florenci, Effrenti, Fortunati, Paulini, Pauli, Corneli, Callixti, Urbani, Innocenti, Felicis, Paul de N.
A work of devotion which could possibly be attributed to the Visitandines. V
