In the first chapel to the left features an altarpiece of the Rest on the Flight to Egypt painted by Lorenzo Masucci . Santa Maria was built by a confraternity that assumed responsibility for interring abandoned corpses in Rome. It is remarkable for the depictions of laureled skulls over the fa ade entrance and other death imagery. In this it has some of the morbid encrustations also seen in the Roman church of the Capuchins. Its charity was, and still is, supported by a the Arciconfraternita di Santa Maria dell Orazione e Morte , a purgatorial society dating to the 1560s. Burials were performed in their cemetery, once sited on the banks of the Tiber adjacent to the church.
