The painting, which depicts the Biblical story of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple, was commissioned from Vouet by Cardinal Richelieu for the Jesuit church of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis. The main painting is now in the Louvre, whilst its original upper panel The Apotheosis of St Louis is now in the Musée des beaux-arts de Rouen.

Vouet, a friend of Poussin, probably chose not to stop his supporters' pamphlets; in the end Poussin returned to Italy and Vouet kept his primacy at court.
