About the piece
Painted around 1780 by an unknown Central European master, this work portrays the significant biblical moment of the Delivery of the Keys within a vast, atmospheric landscape. The composition balances the sacred event with a detailed natural setting, featuring a classical rotunda on a distant hill and a beam of light from the heavens, reflecting the late Baroque sensibilities of the era.
