| Research Abstract |
From the end of the 16th to the beginning of the 17th Century in Rome, many religious orders and confraternities contributed to the religious education of common people offering them catechism classes, pilgrimages to seven patriarchal churches and forty hours’ devotion of the Blessed Sacrament. Realistic representation of common people in this period is especially studied about Caravaggio and many painters are labeled as “his followers”. But new and realistic representation of common people was a general requirement in the Roman religious painting of this period as isevident from the analysis of works of “classical” painters such as Domenichino.
