• Resumen

  • The article discusses a small canvas with a presumed image of "Saint John of God" housed in the Museo Cerrralbo in Madrid, there attributed to the Spanish painter Alonso de Mesa. The author demostrates that this is in fact a preparatory painting for the altarpiece of "Saint Paschal Baylón and Franciscan Saints", carried out in Rome in the early 1750s by the young Gaspare Traversi as part of a series destined for the no longer extant church of Santa Maria di Monte Oliveto in Castell'Arquato, now housed in the chapel of San Severo (or of the Crucifix) in Parma Cathedral.
