Pendant (art)

Ancient Rome
Modern Rome
A pair of pendants by Giovanni Paolo Panini (1691–1765) hung on the same wall in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, separated by several other paintings.

In art, a pendant is one of two paintings, statues, reliefs or other type of works of art intended as a pair. Typically, pendants are related thematically to each other and are displayed in close proximity. For example, pairs of portraits of married couples are very common, as are symmetrically arranged statues flanking an altar.
