Note:	Pierre Brebiette: An early seventieth century French painter and engraver, Pierre Brebiette was a student of Lallemand. To complete his education he traveled in Italy for several years and both lived and worked most notably in Venice. Upon his return to France, Brebiette gained fame for both his paintings and engravings.

Pierre Brebiette was appointed a Painter to the King of France in 1637.
	Some of Brebiette's more famous engravings and etchings include, a Self-Portrait, 'The Adoration of the Magi', 'The Virgin Mary Kneeling before the Infant Savior', 'The Virgin with the Infant Crowned', 'The Conversion of St. Paul' and 'The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian'. Santa Maria was probably created for the Opera diversa a Peter Brebiette inventa, which was published in Paris in 1638 and included a number of the artist's engravings based upon various subjects.
