Description
Multiple photos are associated with this record. Please click the links to view all of the items in the series. The photos show signage describing the images, which are three rejoined fragments of the front of a columned sarcophagus, held within the Pius Christian Museum of the Vatican Museums. The Vatican Museums are public galleries that display about 20,000 of 70K works collected by the Catholic Church and the papacy throughout the centuries. The museums were founded by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century. Only the Louvre in France receives more annual visitors than the Vatican Museums. The museums consist of 24 galleries, with the Sistine Chapel being the last room visited. The fragments depict scenes of Jesus' miracles: resurrection of the son of the widow of Naim; healing of a kneeling woman via a hemorrhage (issue of blood); punishment of the elders; judgment of Daniel; Susanna threatened; healing of the man born blind; miracle of Cana. The fragments are described in the Vatican's catalog at: https://catalogo.museivaticani.va/index.php/Detail.objects/MV.31558.0.0.
