I am trying to obtain a high resolution color copy of the following
painting:

http://scireview.de/pics/maratta.jpg

The caption states: "C.Maratta (1625-1713), destruction of pagan
idols". I do not know whether this is the title of the painting or
just a description of its contents.

To earn the bounty for this question, just answer the following
questions:

1) What is the exact title and location of this painting?

2) Where can I obtain a high resolution color reproduction? Books,
museum catalogs, websites are all acceptable references. High
resolution means at least 800x600 pixels.

Both questions need to be answered to my satisfaction.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

As far as I know, there's no standard monograph on Maratta, though
there have been a couple exhibitions of his work in the last few
decades.  If you live in a major city, arrange to visit the
photographic archive in the main art museum and look under Maratta (or
Maratti).  Most likely the photograph you find will be black-and-white
and under copyright, but once you know where the painting is, you can
check a catalogue for that collection and get a better image.  If this
is really important to you I could check around Aug. 16/17 when I'll
be at an art history research center.
