Pietà With Saints Clare, Francis And Mary Magdalene
''Pietà with Saints Clare, Francis and Mary Magdalene'' is a 1585 oil-on-canvas painting by the Italian artist Annibale Carracci, now in the Galleria nazionale di Parma. It was produced for the high altar of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, Capuchin church in Parma as one of the artist's first works outside Bologna. The commission may have been linked to the Farnese family, which had a fundamental role in the artist's future career. The family had backed the Capuchins establishing friaries in Parma and Piacenza and in the 1570s duke Ottavio Farnese assigned them the now-destroyed churches Santa Maria Maddalena in Parma and San Bernardino in Piacenza, having financed the rebuilding of both.
