Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter by Peter Paul Rubens Rustic Wood Plaque
This rustic wood plaque featuring Christ Giving the Keys to St. Peter by Peter Paul Rubens comes from trees grown and harvested in Ohio and is 100% made in the U.S.A. Each solid wood plaque is hewn and joined together by the hands of our Steubenville woodworkers then digitally printed with hi-tech inks that slowly stain and permeate the wood with a scratch-free work of art.
Because these rustic plaques are made from real, solid wood, each piece may have minor cracks, knots, and other imperfections that add character and authenticity. As unique as human fingerprints, no two plaques are alike.
Smaller sizes of plaques are cut from single boards, while larger sizes are made up of several boards joined together.
Peter Paul Rubens was a Flemish painter who was known for his astounding vitality infused into a powerful and exuberant style that came to epitomize the Baroque art of the 17th century. He was one of the most productive of all Western artists, becoming the master of the greatest studio organization in Europe since Raphael. In the image, Jesus Christ is handing St. Peter - who is kissing the Christ's hand - the Keys to Heaven. The two are surrounded by two lambs on the right and 3 apostles on the left.
