St. Dominic, the beautiful marble statue at the Basilica di San Pietro, Vatican Made by Pierre le Gros the Younger in 1706, who was chiefly employed in Roman churches, executing large-scale bas-reliefs of religious subject-matter, as well as statues. His St Dominic in the Basilica di San Pietro, gives a good flavour of his stirring, dynamic style; the saints ardour and authority are well conveyed, emphasized by the ample, skilfully handled sweep of his draperies. The sculpture is conceived to make a bold impact on the spectator.
