Panels from the Chiesa della Misericordia (1625)

The priors commissioned this cycle of six panels from Barbiani for the Chiesa della Misericordia, but he only executed two: feeding the hungry (signed); and giving water to the thirsty.  Pietro Paolo Sensini seems to have inherited the commission, executing four scenes: visiting the imprisoned; clothing the naked; visiting the sick (which gives an admirable impression of the interior of a hospital); and giving hospitality to pilgrims.  These panels appeared in an inventory of 1872 of the possessions of the Congregazione della Carità.

Portrait of Luca Alberto Petti (1640)

This portrait, which came from from one of the public palaces, was painted in the year of Petti’s death.  He was a friend of Bishop Angelo Cesi and the author of (among other works) a history of Todi.
