Notes | This work was a pendant with another canvas (destroyed), depicting Saint Paul, the pair being patron saints of Rome. The two works are noted in the 8 March 1624 inventory of Gianfrancesco Cussida (Archivio Capitolino, Rome), son of Pietro Cussida (d. 1622), a member of the Aragon family from Zaragoza, and Roman diplomat in the service of Phillip III of Spain. The pair of paintings were said to have been in the Rospigliosi collection (Sotheby's, 2007). Erich Schleier dated the picture to circa 1617, comparing the figure with that of the same saint in the Christ Washing the Feet of the Apostles in the Gemäldegalerie, Berlin. Leonard Slatkes dated the picture to circa 1618-19, based on comparison of the figure to one in a lunette of the chapel in San Pietro in Montorio. The attribution to Baburen was confirmed by Erich Schleier and Leonard Slatkes (the last in a letter to Sotheby's dated June 5, 1995). |
