• Lot Description

  Devotional glass tile mosaic panel depicting Saint Peter, attributed to Brazilian Franciscan artist Fray Arnaldo Marcolino Maas.

   

  The standing figure of the saint is rendered in hand-set glass tesserae with a halo and stylized ecclesiastical robes in vibrant red, blue, gold, and green tones. The composition reflects a bold mid-century religious aesthetic, combining simplified figure modeling with strong color blocks typical of church mosaics produced for devotional interiors.

   

  Saint Peter is traditionally recognized as one of the principal apostles and is often depicted holding keys, symbolizing his role as the keeper of the gates of heaven. The panel’s vertical composition and luminous glass surface give the work strong visual presence suitable for display.

   

  Mounted within a protective wooden support frame used for transport and storage.
