Bernardo Strozzi (also known as "the Capuchin" or "the Genoese Priest" for his biographical events), a fundamental figure in Italian painting in the early 17th century, was born in Genoa in 1581 and did his apprenticeship in the workshop of the Tuscan mannerist Pietro Sorri. A Capuchin Friar, due to judicial problems with his order, he moved to Venice in 1633, where, as an established artist, he immediately obtained important commissions. In 1636 Strozzi painted a large oval canvas to be placed on the ceiling above the main altar in the Venetian church Ospedale degli Incurabili, representing the "Parable of the wedding guest". The decorative project was completed several years later, alongside Padovanino's "Parable of the wise virgins and the foolish virgins" (completed in 1644) and the “Paradiso", begun by Sante Peranda in 1638 and completed after his death by Francesco Maffei. The iconographic reading of this composition obviously revolves around "Paradise", with the two parables alluding to the need for the soul to be ready to rise to heaven at the time of death. This large canvas, owned by the Giamblanco Gallery, is an extraordinary fragment of that composition.

Strozzi completes his initial training at the workshop of the Sienese painter Pietro Sorri at the end of the 16th century and then continues his activity in Genoa. In 1598 he is accepted into the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin and in 1609 and 1610 he asks permission from his superiors to be allowed to fully exercise his profession, to help support his mother and sister. In his first works, Bernardo looks at the models of late Mannerism used by his Tuscan master, but also by other Lombard artists such as Cerano, Procaccini and Morazzone. In Genoa he is given a chance to study closely masterpieces by Caravaggio and his followers, and by artists from the Flemish school, who are to be found in the best collections of the Superba, greatly enriching his figurative lexicon. During the twenties, he discovers in Pieter Paul Rubens the chromatic-mixture richness that will become his signature”.
