Christ Appearing to the Apostles

Valerio Belli

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a detailed bas-relief depicting a group of clothed figures in an urban architectural setting. There is a central figure standing with its back to the viewer, surrounded by other figures facing the center character with varied postures. Above them, there is an arched structure with an inscription. The scene is set against a wall or building with architectural details. The sculpture is crafted in a brown material, possibly bronze, with light highlights on the raised portions, accentuating the intricate detailing. Its appearance suggests classical influences and a narrative scene.
