When Caravaggio delivered this picture to the church where it was to be placed respect for the saint. The painting was not accepted, and Caravaggio had to try again.

卡拉瓦喬把畫像交給預定要在祭壇上安放這幅作品的教堂時，教堂方認為這幅畫對圣徒有失敬意，而拒絕接受，卡拉瓦喬不得不重提畫筆。

This time he took no chance. He kept strictly to the conventional ideas of what an angel and a saint should look like. The outcome is still quite a good picture, for Caravaggio had tried hard to make it look lively and interesting, but we feel that it is less honest and sincere than the first had been.

這一次他不敢再冒險，完全遵從對于天使和圣徒外表的傳統要求。由于卡拉瓦喬的苦心經營，力圖使畫作生動有趣，所以第二幅畫也不失為一幅佳作。但我們仍能感覺到，它不如第一幅作品那么忠誠而真摯
