This study for the vault of Asti cathedral is listed in a workshop inventory taken on Carloni’s death, as “The Triumph of Faith, and sins crushed”. The difference between its present dimensions andthose recorded in 1775, and the fact that the part with sinners is missing, suggest that the painting has been cut. Carloni, who continued working until he was quite old, was famous chiefly in German-speaking countries and was one of the best-paid artists of his day.
