Episode from the Life of St. ChrysogonusThe woman in the
group on the left may be St. Anastasia, who the Golden Legend received
comforting letters from Saint Chrysogonus during her travails.
This is one of three
reliefs on the life of the saint in the apse of the church. I
have been unable to ascertain the date of these works, but the heroic
style and accurate antique garb suggest that it may date from the
17th-century restoration of the church that Giovanni Battista Soria
undertook for Scipione Borghese.
