The Archivolt Sculpture at Sessa AuruncaFootnote

Pages 119-131 | Published online: 10 Nov 2014
 

Abstract

The medieval Cathedral of Sessa Aurunca (Fig. 1),1 approximately forty miles northwest of Naples, is dedicated to both St. Peter and the Virgin.2 The church was consecrated in 1113,3 although the project was far from completion. Ensuing years saw the construction of the ambo and the paschal candelabrum,4 as well as the addition of the porch and its archivolt sculpture. Much has been written about the ambo in the Cathedral and its place in Campanian sculpture,5 but little attention has been paid to the sculpture appearing on the center archivolt of the portico.6
