Description:
|
|
The panel was first attributed to Giovanni Bellini in 1916; until then it had been considered a work of Mantegna, partly owing to a spurious inscription on the back of the work probably added in the eighteenth century. Due to strong compositional similarities it has always been linked to Mantegna's Presentation, now in Berlin, Gemäldegalerie. That painting, dated 1454-1455, is the first example of a scenic representation of half-length figures in a single space. Various identifications have been proposed for the figures present in the Querini Stampalia panel: Giovanni and Andrea Mantegna to the right; Nicolosia Bellini and the mother of the artist, Anna Bellini, to the left; and perhaps Jacopo Bellini in the figure of Saint Joseph or in that of the High Priest. (Andrea Mantegna was the artist's brother-in-law.) Recent conservation imaging revealed the under-drawing and confirmed the painting is by Bellini.
