It was painted by a young Correggio in the city of Parma, remote from the immediate influences of traditional Renaissance art, although aspects of its style are reminiscent of Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci and the burgeoning Dutch masters.[2]

After passing through a number of hands it was bought by Messrs Wildenstein for the Art Institute of Chicago in 1965. Although stolen shortly afterwards, it was soon recovered and still hangs there.[3]
