English: Mosaic altarpiece, reproduction of Raphael's 'deathbed' painting (1520) now in the Vatican Museum. A team of six artists took nine years to execute the mosaic, finishing in 1767. Jesus, bathed in light, is borne aloft between Moses and Elijah, also in ecstasy, while the Apostles Peter, James and John, prostrate, contemplate this glimpse of paradise. On the left, almost hidden, are Sts. Felicissimus and Agapitus. In the lower part, the healing of the young man who was "possessed" is portrayed, giving the scene a sense of agitation, while in the upper part of the picture, profound peace is contemplated. In the center, a kneeling woman represents the Church. The Tomb of Innocentius XI was moved here in 2011.
