Kaendler in 1735 after the marble statue by Pierre-Etienne Monnot in San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome. It was paired with a St Peter as part of an altar set which was given to Cardinal Annibale Albani (1682-1751) in 1736 by Augustus III, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. The Apostles were painted in enamels and gilded, and St Paul held a sword in his raised right hand. This undecorated version conforms to later version of 1737/8, which was part of a set modelled by Kaendler and J.F. Eberlein given to the dowager Empress Wilhelmina Amalia. The two modellers were also recorded as working on the model in 1740. This example was made in the 19th century.referenceterm-106853adlib-term-10685325492eb4-1164-35eb-8dce-3601486f341519th Centuryreferenceterm-110409adlib-term-1104092040047c-eefc-3538-8b3d-60185614825bliteralGermanyGermanycountryliteralSaxonySaxonyregionMeissenreferenceterm-108494adlib-term-1084948a0fd335-9b0e-36d1-a433-b0a7aa894636Dresdenreferenceterm-37627adlib-term-37627254febfe-0021-3e45-89a7-d57ba40044c7hard-paste porcelainHeightcm50.7Heightin20referenceterm-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurehistory noteunknown before donor, G.D.
