Saint Peter (Brunellesci)

External replica

Saint Peter is a 2.43 m high Apuan marble sculpture of saint Peter. It is attributed to Filippo Brunelleschi and influenced by Donatello. It forms part of a cycle of fourteen statues of the patron saints of the guilds of Florence for the external niches of Orsanmichele^[1]. The sculpture of St Peter was completed for the Arte dei Beccai guild around 1412 and is now in the Museo di Orsanmichele, although a replica fills its original niche.
