First of all it clarifies the dates and the circumstances of this important commission. It also offers the proof that the Barberini family, and in particular Cardinal Francesco Barberini, actively promoted the French painter as soon as the end of 1623, obtaining for him at least one public commission financed by their cliente network, in this instance, the Raggi family. The intervention of the Barberini can be placed in what appears more clearly here as a sustained and organized effort to promote the French painter in the public sphere and to consolidate his status, his reputation and his artistic role, leading to his affirmation as an important artist in Rome in 1624. This correspondence also offers the identification of a previously unknown patron of Vouet in Rome, Mgr Ottaviano Raggi, who is here considered to be the sponsor of the Saint Mary Magdalene Speaking with Two Angels, around 1622-1623, and to tie the Raggi commissions to Roman rather than Genoese circles. Finally, it informs us that Vouet proposed to entrust the execution of the statues for the Jesuit church in Genoa to a sculptor of his entourage with whom he seems to have collaborated regularly. This article proposes to identify this sculptor as his friend Christophe Cochet, also protected by the French crown, while situating this collaboration within the system of Vouet’s workshop in Rome and the Francophile circle of Barberini-Cassiano dal Pozzo.Cairn free access
