More information on Santa Maria della Concezione

Santa Maria della Concezione was founded by the brother of Pope Urbano VIII Barberini, the cardinal Antonio Barberini at the beginning of the 17th Century. The church has a modest appearance in regard to other churches of the baroque period, as it reflects the Capuchin order to which the cardinal belonged. This church is known to Romans as the charnel house of the Capuchins, throughout the centuries, the friars arranged the bones and skulls of their fellow brothers into the form of crosses or other Christian symbols. Although the church is simple in style, it still houses some important works, like the painting by Guido Reni, which depicts St Michael the Archangel crushing Lucifer, as well as works by Andrea Sacchi, Pietro da Cortonoa, Domenichino and in the entrance of the sacristy, a work entitled St Francis in prayer, which is attributed to Caravaggio.
