Madonna and Child with Sts. Peter and Paul CESARI, Giuseppe 1568, Roma, d. 1640, Roma




This painting is a copy, somewhat smaller in size, of a mosaic designed by the painter in 1608-09 for the Portone di Bronzo, the official entrance to the Vatican Palace. It is thought that the painter himself gave the painting to the Borghese pope, Paul V.
