UBI PETRUS

Bernini's Cathedra Petri [Chair or Throne of Peter]

The papal insignia are placed evenly around the back of the throne of St. Peter. The two papal keys are held out symmetrically by the flying cherubim who also support the tiara in the center. The Gloria portion circle window encompassed with stain glass golden rays all around. The Holy Spirit is in the center. When photographed from this angle the side windows which emit rays of sunshine are not able to cause a glare so you are able to see all the detail of the genius of Bernini.

DETAIL IMAGES:
Note, we left them in their blemished condition.
