# Sts Francis Xavier and Carlo Borromeo [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [MADERNO, Stefano]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Marble ## Commentary The picture shows the statues of Sts Francis Xavier \(left\) and Carlo Borromeo \(right\) in the second vestibule of the church San Lorenzo in Damaso. A possible collaboration between Maderno and Ambrogio Bonvicino can be traced back to the statue depicting San Carlo Borromeo destined for the homonymous chapel \(dismantled\) in the church of San Lorenzo in Damaso and now placed in the second vestible \(right pillar\). Granted in 1615 to Canon Cesare Melotti, the chapel was solemnly inaugurated by the Bishop of Salona Cesare Fedele, who was among the witnesses called to testify in favour of the cause of canonization of Borromeo himself in 1610. ## Related artworks - [Hercules and Antaeus]() - [Hercules and Antaeus]() - [Hercules and the Nemean Lion]() - [Hercules]() - [Hercules with the Infant Telephus]() - [Nicodemus with the Body of Christ]() - [Nicodemus with the Body of Christ]() - [Peace and Justice]() - [St Cecilia]() - [St Cecilia]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
