The canvas by Raffaello Sanzio, now kept at the Gemäldegalerie in Dresden, was painted for the Benedictines of the Church of San Sisto in Piacenza by the will of Julius II, a tribute to Pope Sista IV, a member of the Della Rovere family like him. In fact, the canvas also features St. Sixtus (like Sixtus II) and St. Barbara.
