Description:
|
|
Piero worked primarily in tempera on panel, although he appears frequently to have used both egg and oil media in the same picture. In the first phase of his career, Piero was influenced by the Netherlandish naturalism of Hugo van der Goes and frequently painted detailed scenes from classical mythology. The painting is mentioned in 1568 by Giorgio Vasari, who states that it was commissioned by Filippo Strozzi the Elder, and gifted by Giovanni Battista Strozzi to a member of Cosimo I de' Medici's personnel.
