This article focuses on a new addition to the oeuvre of Ludovico Brea (documented in Nice and Liguria between 1475 and 1523), a panel with "Saint Petronilla" commissioned from the master by a small community or confraternity somewhere along the western Ligurian coast, or more likely in the Alpes-Maritimes, a territory with widespread devotion to the saint. The painting is datable to the first or second decade of the 1500s and its style closely resembles that of several works carried out by Brea in the same period for Genoese religious institutions, such as the "Coronation of the Virgin" (Genoa, Museo di Santa Maria di Castello), completed in 1513, or the "Annunciation" (whereabouts unknown), commissioned in the same year by a confraternity based in Sant'Ugo in the church of San Giovanni di Prè.
