The Discovery of the Bodies of Saints Peter and Paul

Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching of two bodies on the ground. The bodies are wearing long, flowing robes. The body on the left appears to be a man with short hair and a beard; his head rests on a cloth. The second body appears to be on top of the first body. Three men are standing in the background. They are looking down towards the bodies with concern. There are trees and foliage on the right and left. The background has shadows cast on the wall behind the figures. The artist's signature is in the bottom-left corner; the name is difficult to make out but appears to read 'CASTIGLIONE'.
