It was in the course of excavations for the crypt of the church of the Academy of Saint Luke in Rome that the body of Saint Martina was discovered. At the time, Cortona was the architect of the church built on that site between 1635 and 1650 (which was eventually dedicated to both Luke and Martina), and the architectural sketches at the top of the sheet may be related to the artist's plans for the church. Cortona was particularly devoted to the cult of the Roman martyr Saint Martina - a third-century martyr who was put to death for refusing to worship idols - and the subject of another drawing in the Museums collection (inv. 1979.3).Citi
