## Commentary

To the right of the altar in Cappella Grazioli, the former funerary chapel of the Maffei family of Verona, is the statue of St John the Baptist, attributed to Ambrogio Bonvicino but lately also to Stefano Maderno. Bonvicino was a fashionable sculptor in Rome who produced bland and often facile works for papal families such as the Aldobrandini, Borghese and Barberini.
