Prima della sua elezione a Papa, Innocenzo XI era stato protettore della chiesa romana di Santa Maria dei Monti e dell’Ospizio dei Catecumeni e Neofiti, ospitato nel Palazzo costruito nel 1635 accanto alla chiesa stessa.
La scena raffigurata al rovescio di questa rarissima quadrupla, opera di Giovanni Hamerani, fa riferimento all’affresco conservato in tale chiesa e che la tradizione popolare riteneva miracoloso. Il luogo infatti ove ancora oggi sorge nell’omonimo quartiere la chiesa di S. Maria dei Monti era stato in precedenza occupato da un convento di suore clarisse, poi negli anni abbandonato e trasformato in abitazioni e stalle. Nel 1579 alcuni operai, mentre stavano abbattendo un muro di un fienile lì annesso, sentirono provenire dal suo interno una voce che li pregava di non fare del male al bambino: tolti delicatamente alcuni mattoni, trovarono l’affresco raffigurante la Vergine col Bambino, seduta in trono e circondata dai Santi Lorenzo e Stefano in piedi, Agostino e Francesco inginocchiati. Non appena la notizia del ritrovamento della sacra immagine si sparse in città, attirò al fienile molti fedeli tra i quali iniziarono anche a manifestarsi alcuni miracoli. La profonda venerazione che ne seguì spinse nel 1580 papa Gregorio XIII ad ordinare che al posto del fienile venisse costruita una chiesa su progetto di Giacomo della Porta e sul cui altare fu posto l’affresco.
