Painting by Domenichino, for the Church of San Giovanni in Monte, and now in the Pinacoteca Nazionale in Bologna. The iconography of the picture is still a matter for debate. For another reference to this painting see Works, 4.328.
Domenichino's mid-nineteenth-century reputation was mixed in its assessments of his invention, feeling for nature, colouring, and theatricality.
