Abstract (en)
Publishes text of a 7 Jan 1661 contract in which Preti agreed to repaint three frescoes he had painted 1650-1651 in the apse of S. Andrea della Valle, Rome. The financial terms were not favorable to Preti and he never fulfilled the contract. Author shows how the contract supports Bernardo de Dominici's account (1742-1743) of the 1650-1651 commission and the Theatine fathers' displeasure with Preti's frescoes.
