## Commentary

This is a preparatory sketch for the painting of the main altarpiece of the Chapel of Saint Anthony in the church of San Francisco el Grande, Madrid. The painting reveals a synthesis of the style of the Spanish Golden Age and the new painterly dictates of Neoclassicism, introduced into the Spanish court by Anton Raphael Mengs.
