RCIN 904096

Carlo Maratti was the leading exponent of classicism in late Baroque Rome. This is one of many surviving studies for his altarpiece in the Cybo chapel of Santa Maria del Popolo, painted in oils directly on to the wall of the chapel. It depicts St John the Evangelist explaining the Immaculate Conception to three Doctors of the Church, Saints Gregory, Augustine and John Chrysostom.
