Description:

|
Commissioned for an altar in Saint Peter's Basilica; transferred to Palazzo del Quirinale, requisitioned by Napoleon's troops and taken to Paris, Louvre; brought back to Italy by Antonio Canova and placed in the Capitoline Museums in 1818. Guercino was summoned to Rome when his patron Cardinal Alessandro Ludovisi, was elected pope as Gregory XV; however plans were cut short when Gregory died after two years. Nevertheless, Guercino did complete one prominent papal commission, the Burial and Reception into Heaven of St Petronilla, painted for one of the altars in St Peter’s and completed shortly before the artist’s departure from the Holy City in 1623.
