Timothy’s model provides a stunning and accurate reproduction of Donato Bramante’s Temple capturing the atmosphere of this 16th Century building, which was commissioned by Ferdinand and Isabel to commemorate the crucifixion of St Peter. As with all models, the Tempietto was researched and a great deal of help was given by the classical architect Tom Rajkovich of Chicago and his colleagues at Notre Dame University, notably Victor Deupi.
This model is one of a limited edition of ten. The models are hand made in plaster; the temple roof is lead as is the spindled balustrade. The model is in sections: the base, lower drum and peristyle with metopes, each one detailed and correct. Inside the main frieze is a raised circular ceiling containing coffered sections with triglyph detail on the concave internal face. A series of plates, further decorate the building. The grilled shaft, which on the real building allows light into the crypt is decorated inside with inscriptions and cherub faces. A series of small plates inscribed in Latin further decorate the exterior of the building.
Weight: 9 kg Dimensions: 18 inches (46cm) high, 13 inches (33cm) diameter.
