After his return from Spain in 1702, Giordano made some oil sketches for the commission of the sacristy of S. Brigida, Naples. The frescoes were completed by his pupil Giuseppe Simonelli. For The Crucifixion, in a lunette over the altar, Giordano looked back to Tintoretto's painting in the Scuola Grande di S. Rocco, Venice and Lanfranco's fresco in S. Martino, Naples. A similar oil sketch is in the Kurt Rossacher collection, Salzburg.
