## Commentary

This painting was a &#39;presentation piece&#39; related to the altarpiece ordered by the Oratorians in Turin for their church dedicated to San Filippo Neri. The painting was perhaps sent as a gift from the artist to the architect Filippo Juvarra who was put in charge with redesigning the church in Turin, and recommended Trevisani for the decoration of the altar. The altarpiece is still in situ today.
