Catalogue Note
Vêtus de longues tuniques à l'antique agrafées sur l'épaule, les corps en léger déhanchement avec une jambe en avant, chaque figure tient à la main un instrument de la Passion du Christ : la colonne de la Flagellation pour l'un, et la bourse d'argent de Judas pour l'autre. Son bras levé indiquerait qu'il tenait peut être également une Croix. La qualité de la fonte, notamment le traitement de la chevelure bouclée ainsi que des paupières très prononcées, indique une origine vénitienne pour ces statuettes, dans l'entourage de Girolama Campagna (1549-1617) ou Niccolo Roccatagliata (1560-1636).
