Focus on this artwork and analyze the Provenance.
Along with Saints Proculus and Nicea and Adoration of the Magi, the painting of Januarius was commissioned from her for the choir of Pozzuoli Cathedral. The amphitheatre and figures in the background were painted by one (or more) of Gentileschi's collaborators from Rome. After fire damage in 1964 they were transferred to the Certosa di San Martino. They were later moved to the Museo di Capodimonte in nearby Naples, before returning to Pozzuoli Cathedral in 2014.The 1964 fire damaged some of the painting; restorations have partially rectified the damage, while also revealing Gentileschi's signature beneath the tail of the lion.
