Notes
Ralph Holland first attributed this drawing to Trevisani on the basis of stylistic similarities with a drawing in Berlin. He then revised his opinion, making a comparison with the composition of Odazzi's St. Bernard's Vision of the Christ Child in S. Bernardo alle Terme.1 He remarks that as Odazzi painted two scenes from the life of St. Joseph in a chapel in S. Maria della Scala, Rome, this might have been an idea for an altarpiece in that commission. Odazzi, after studying with Ciro Ferri, became an assistant to Gaulli and his paintings show that influence. 1. E. Waterhouse, Roman Baroque Paintings, Oxford 1976, fig. 60
