It and the compositionally similar The Vision of the Blessed Hermann Joseph (1630[1]) were both painted for the chapel of the Fraternity of the senior bachelors (Sodaliteit van de Bejaerde Jongmans in Flemish) in Antwerp's Jesuit church, then named the Saint Ignatius Church but later renamed the St. Charles Borromeo Church.[2] Both paintings remained there until 1776, when empress Maria Theresa of Austria acquired them, taking them to Vienna, where they both now hang in the Kunsthistorisches Museum.[3]
