## Commentary

This dynamic composition is from the artist&#39;s early maturity, influenced by Bernardo Strozzi and the Venetian use of tone. Mazzoni blended Tuscan-Lombard nuances of tone with Baroque theatricality and s Strozzi-style naturalism. With a companion piece depicting St Benedict in glory, this work frames the triumphal arch of the church.
