Resumen de Un'"Orazione di Cristo nell'orto" di Pietro Testa
The rediscovery of a hitherto unknown painting by Pietro Testa among the photographs assembled by Roberto Longhi allows for some considerations on his activity as painter during the 1630s, and especially on his relationship with Poussin and Cassiano dal Pozzo. This is followed by an analysis of a drawing of "Ecstasy of Saint Francis" bearing the Barberini coat of arms, which may therefore have been the result of a commission from Francesco Barberini.
