Title: Column Statue of Saint Hilary of Galeata
Date: ca. 1170–1200
Geography: Made in Galeata, Romagna, Northern Italy
Culture: North Italian
Medium: Marble (Carrara marble)
Dimensions: Overall: 34 7/8 x 4 1/4 x 6 3/4 in. (88.6 x 10.8 x 17.1 cm)
weight: 72lb. (32.7kg)
Classification: Sculpture-Stone
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1908
Accession Number: 08.175.9
This column statue, from the destroyed cloister of the Benedictine abbey of Sait’Ellero di Galeata, Forlí, represents the patron saint and founder of the abbey. Wearing a monastic habit and a tonsure (partially shaved head), Saint Hilary (478–558) holds a scroll inscribed in Latin affirming the rights of the abbey to income from a certain territory. Thus the statue of the founding saint functions as a charter image for the monastery and for the rights it claimed.
