San Luigi dei Francesi
He was ennobled in April 1753 and received the Order of Saint-Michel, an honour he had impatiently awaited, but he found himself out of sympathy with the new neoclassical style that was being developed by the Academy's pensionnaires. His own fresco of the "Apotheosis of Saint Louis" for the French national Church of San Luigi dei Francesi, 1754–1756, came in for criticism.
