Just made a few changes - most important is the date, which I changed from 1600 to 1601: Cerasi died on 3 May 1601, and the erjection of the first version seems to have been made by his heirs, rather than by him, which places this painting post-May 1601. The 1601 date is in John Gash's Caravaggio, 2003 (revised) edition, which is a catalogue of all known Caravaggios. Helen Langdon (Caravaggio, 1998) has a little on the confusion over the reasons for the rejection.

Otherwise I haven't changed anything important. I've Wikified the words Cerasi Chapel, but there isn't an article yet - it would be good if someone could write one, particluarly if there are photos of the chapel.PiCo 23:44, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "Prostrate and supine" to "supine".

Just a small edit.

I changed "prostrate and supine" to simply "supine".

"Prostrate" means "lying stretched out on the ground with one's FACE DOWNWARD" and therefore "prostrate AND supine" is a contradiction in terms (besides which Saul is lying supine—that is, "lying face upward"). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.62.212.69 (talk) 13:58, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
