The Cessation of the Schism of Anacletus c. 1675-1700
-
A drawing of a group of figures in which Pope Innocent stands on the left with St Bernard, receiving the kneeling penitent Victor IV. Above them a host of angels bears the papal tiara aloft. This is a study for the whole composition of the painting formerly in the Abbey of Citeaux, now in the National Museum, Stockholm. It was a pendant to Giuseppe Passeri's St Bernard received into Citeaux by St Stephen; see RCIN 991231.
