This altarpiece was formerly in the Church of St Jacopo on the Venetian island of Murano, where it formed part of a triptych: the other sections, the ‘Visitation’ and the ‘Resurrection’ are now in the Barber Institute, Birmingham, and the Royal Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, respectively. It was acquired by the 9th Earl of Exeter in 1769 whilst on his second Grand Tour.
