Christ giving the keys to Saint Peter

Produced in Amsterdam in 1707, it integrated an order made at the van der Kloet Workshop, for the Galvão Mexia Palace in Lisbon. Panel depicting Christ handing over the keys from Heaven to St. Peter (Matthew, 16: 18-19), produced in 1707 for the old Galvão Mexia palace in Lisbon. It was part of a set of about twenty panels scattered after the demolition of the palace in 1899. The National Azulejo Museum has a Dance Lesson (MNAz inv. 1680 Az), classified as a National Interest Well in 2006. Van der Kloet, along with Jan Van Oort, is the most important Dutch painter who worked with Portuguese commissions, of which we can highlight a panel applied in the church of Madre de Deus, and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazareth.
