## Commentary

This work is a typical example of the artist&#39;s predilection for large, richly decorated backgrounds. The painting is distinguished by the accentuated sumptuousness of the ornamental motifs - sphinxes, voluted brackets, bas-reliefs. Mazzolini constructs here an intricate and highly refined series of gold brushstrokes which he uses for the setting, the door-jambs and on the robe of Saint Joachim.
