1669 · Santa Maria in Trivio, Rome

The picture shows the nave vault with Mary scenes in three centre canvas paintings: the Presentation of Mary in the Temple. Annunciation to the Virgin, Assumption of the Virgin. A narrative scene painted on a wall as a framed picture was referred to as a "quadro riportato," which to seventeenth-century thinking suggested that a framed panel painting had been translated into the medium of fresco.Show more
