Algardi received the prestigious commission for it around 1646. It was procured by Algardi by means of intrigue, having originally been assigned to the older sculptor Mochi. Despite the fact that the first cast was flawed, Algardi was awarded the cross of the Cavaliere di Cristo. The terracotta model of the statue is in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. ## Related artworks - [Athena]() - [Baptism of Christ]() - [Beheading of St Paul]() - [Bust of a member of the Pamphilj family]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of a Saint]() - [Bust of Bishop Ulpiano Volpi]() - [Bust of Cardinal Giovanni Garzia Mellini]() - [Bust of Cardinal Paolo Emilio Zacchia]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
