Saint Francis of Assisi Resuscitating a Dead Youth

1555–1629
Not on view
Nancy Ward Neilson has suggested that the present design may be a preparatory study for one of the now-destroyed scenes from the life of Saint Francis painted during the late 1580’s by or under the supervision of Camillo in the second cloister adjacent to the church of Sant’Angelo in Milan. Like the ‘Annunciation’ (acc. no. 80.3.181), this drawing was attributed to Camillo by Philip Pouncey in 1965.
