    Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione is known for paintings that combine 
      the high drama and emotion of baroque art with elements of Venetian 
      colorism and Flemish naturalism. These influences blend most 
      successfully in The Immaculate Conception with Saints Francis of Assisi 
      and Anthony of Padua, a work created when he was at the peak of his 
      artistic powers.
    
    The painting was commissioned in 1649 by Cardinal Girolamo Verospi for a 
      new church at the Capuchin monastery in Osimo, a small town in central 
      Italy near the Adriatic coast. It was to be placed over the high altar. 
      Because the church was being dedicated to the Virgin of the Immaculate 
      Conception, the composition of the altarpiece needed to reflect the 
      doctrine that Mary was conceived without sin. Castiglione depicted her 
      as the Queen of Heaven, standing on a crescent moon and attended by a 
      heavenly host and two kneeling saints, Francis of Assisi and Anthony of 
      Padua. The coat of arms at the lower left attests that all expenses for 
      the commission were borne by the church's archdeacon and patron, Pier 
      Filippo Fiorenzi.
