According to A.E. Popham, Bedoli's inspiration for the present composition was Correggio's fresco of the same subject painted for the Church of the Annunciata in Parma and now in the Galleria Nazionale, Parma, D. Ekserdjian, Correggio, Yale, 1997, fig. 160. Both compositions recall designs for lunettes and the figures are seen da sotto in su.
The church was destroyed as early as 1546 but the fresco was detached and installed in the new church. A.E. Popham suggested that there was a possibility that the fresco might not have been saved and that Bedoli was commissioned to paint a replacement composition for it. Popham adds that a dating of 1546 is compatible with the style of the drawing, comparing it to that of the Last Supper in Ralph Holland's collection, M. Di Giampaolo, op. cit., no. 103.
Bedoli painted two vertical versions of this subject in the Ambrosiana, Milan, and Capodimonte, Naples, and executed a horizontal drawing now in the Kunsthalle, Hamburg, M. Di Giampaolo, op. cit., nos. 15, 23 and 56.
