Saint Alexius dying

The Death of Saint Alexius or Saint Alexius Dying is an oil on canvas painting by Pietro da Cortona, created c. 1638. It is held in the Saint Alexis chapel in the Girolamini, Naples. It shows the dying saint Alexius of Rome holding a letter welcomed by angels — he had left his family and returned to them at the moment of his death, with them only recognising him thanks to the letter.
