Allegorical Figure of Faith 1672 Giovanni Battista Gaulli (Il Baciccio) Italian Baciccio designed the frescoes in the vault of Santa Marta al Collegio Romano in Rome about 1672. The decoration was conceived as a series of three tondi, each framed by pendentives with personifications of Virtues. This study is for one of the allegorical figures, Faith. The drawing was identified by Maria Vittoria Brugnoli (1966: see here 'References') as Gaulli's study for the allegorical figure of Faith that appears in a triangular section of the vaulting in the church of Santa Marta al Collegio Romano in Rome. Gaulli was responsible for the overall design of the frescoes in the vault, but only executed the central tondo with Saint Martha in Glory and the Virtues in the four surrounding pendentives (ca. 1672). The two other tondos and the remaining eight pendentives, including that with Faith, are said to have been painted by Paolo Albertoni and Girolamo Troppa (see Enggass 1964, pp. 146-147). Visual ev
