Room

Plate of
colored enamel “Christ Pantocrator” about XII/XIII century
“The plate,
of considerable size, was accidentally found in Rome near S. Maria in
Trastevere (...). This is a great product of medieval art made with a unique
and highly refined technique. The hieratic pose of the figure was considered a
hint of the Byzantine origin of this Christ Pantocrator, even if the art
historians have repeatedly considered the enamel similar to the products of the
school of Limoges. Recently the work has been attributed to a workshop active
in central-southern Italy in the fourteenth century” (Official website of the
Museum of Palazzo Venezia - www.museopalazzovenezia.beniculturali.it)

“Terracina Chest” piece of furniture of the tenth or eleventh
century in which vestments and liturgical documents were kept
“It is one
of the oldest chest extant today (...). The theme of the eternal battle between
Good and Evil is the basis of the fight scenes inserted within the arches that
decorate the panels, and the same meaning is also emphasized by the Original
Sin of Adam and Eve in the center of the lower part. There are many influences
that are gathered in this chest, both of Western and Eastern origin” (Official
