Cappella di San Francisco Solano
(former Cappell dell'Immacolata)
In the left Lunette: The Virgin as the Woman of the Apocalypes
Here again the Virgin is struggling against the old serpent, the dragon, an enmity often seen as proof that she had no part in original sin. Thus just as on the wall below, so here too the Virgin's position as the chosen one and Immacolata is depicted.
