When Caravaggio delivered this picture to the church where it was to be placed respect for the saint. The painting was not accepted, and Caravaggio had to try again.

卡拉瓦乔把画像交给预定要在祭坛上安放这幅作品的教堂时，教堂方认为这幅画对圣徒有失敬意，而拒绝接受，卡拉瓦乔不得不重提画笔。

This time he took no chance. He kept strictly to the conventional ideas of what an angel and a saint should look like. The outcome is still quite a good picture, for Caravaggio had tried hard to make it look lively and interesting, but we feel that it is less honest and sincere than the first had been.

这一次他不敢再冒险，完全遵从对于天使和圣徒外表的传统要求。由于卡拉瓦乔的苦心经营，力图使画作生动有趣，所以第二幅画也不失为一幅佳作。但我们仍能感觉到，它不如第一幅作品那么忠诚而真挚
