Saint Simeon of Polirone Curing a Brother Monk

Bartolomeo Spani

National Gallery of Art

The sculpture is a rectangular box with detailed engravings on one side, depicting a scene with multiple human figures. The figures appear to be involved in a gathering around a bed, where one person is lying down, while others are standing and looking toward them. The material of the sculpture seems to be bronze or a similar metal, given its brownish color with variations and aging texture. The box is elevated slightly on four small, rounded legs. The overall craftsmanship shows intricate details, particularly in the depiction of clothing and facial expressions of the figures. The setting resembles a room with vertical lines suggesting wooden paneling or a backdrop.
