| Notes |
English:
The painting belongs to a series commissioned from Bellini, Titian and Dosso Dossi, for the Camerino d'Alabastro, (Alabaster Room) in the Ducal Palace, Ferrara, by Alfonso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara, who in 1510 even tried commissions to Michelangelo and Raphael. This painting substitutes a painting from Raphael. Between 1518-1525 Titian painted also
Worship of Venus
and
Bacchanal of the Andrians
, both Prado for the Alabaster Room. In 1514 Giovanni Bellini painted 'Feast of the Gods'.
