Peace

Valerio Belli

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a relief on an oval medallion featuring two figures. The primary figure is a standing person draped in flowing robes, holding a branch with multiple leaves or flowers extending upward. The figure appears to be in a dominant position, looking downward towards a second figure. The second figure is kneeling and holds a stick or staff in one hand, with a slightly bowed head. Both figures are elegantly carved with attention to detail on the faces and clothing. The sculpture is bronze-colored and has a metallic sheen, suggesting it is made from bronze or a similar metal. The material gives it an aged appearance, adding depth to the relief. There is a small hole at the top of the medallion, possibly for hanging. The sculpture presents a classical or historical scene.
