Cardinal Federico Cornaro, son of a noble Venetian family, had chosen the church of the Discalced Carmelites for a burial chapel. The chapel chosen had previously depicted St. Paul in ecstasy, and the Cardinal replaced it with the ecstatic event undergone by the recently (1622), and first Carmelite saint. ...more on Wikipedia about "Ecstasy of St Theresa"
