Lot Essay

This derives from a picture by Barocci known in two versions - in the Vatican, Rome, and the Church of Santo Stefano, Piobbico. The composition became widely known in The Netherlands by virtue of the engraving by Cornelis Cort (Bartsch 43 iii; see fig. 1) which probably served as the prototype for the present work; its origin is hinted at by its oak support.
