Our Lady of the Rosary & St Francis
"O holy Mother,
sweet and fair to see,
for us beseech the King,
your dearest Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ,
to death for us delivered:
that in his pitying clemency,
and by virtue of his most holy incarnation
and bitter death,
he may pardon our sins".
- Prayer of St Francis.
Painted by Giulio Cesare Procaccini, this painting was commissioned soon after 1612 by Gaspare Spanzotta for the Chapel of Saints Francis and Dominic in the church of the Madonna dei Miracoli at Corbetta, near Milan. It is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
