Description:

The altarpiece is a fine mosaic (micromosaic), dating from 1725-1727, copied after a Late Mannerist painting by Roncalli dated 1599-1604. From the Renaissance micromosaics began to be made in Italy, reaching the height of their popularity in the mid 19th century, when Rome was the center of production; there was a Vatican Mosaic Studio from 1576, set up to create mosaic replicas of the altarpieces in St. Peter's Basilica, which were being damaged by the humid conditions of the vast and crowded interior. The scene depicts the moment after lying to St. Peter, Saphira falls to the ground before the Apostle; in the background two young men carry the dead body of her husband, Ananias (Acts 5:1-11).
