Abstract

IN the year 1601, Signor Pietro Vittrice, citizen of Rome and, as former keeper of the wardrobe of Pope Gregory XIII, a man of considerable prominence, was making plans for the redecoration of his chapel in Santa Maria in Vallicella, the Chapel of the Pietà.1 He had removed from over the altar an old painting of the Pietà and to take its place had ordered a new altarpiece from a young painter of already established reputation, Michelangelo da Caravaggio.2 The result of this transaction, completed early in 1603,3 was the famous picture by Caravaggio entitled the Entombment, now in the Vatican gallery (Fig. 1).4
