Description:
The work came to the Pinacoteca from the Church of San Domenico in Camerino in 1811 after Napoleon’s spoliations. While transferring it, the original frame, which probably contained other scenes, was lost. Two of those scenes, the Announcing Angel and the Virgin Annunciate, also came to the Pinacoteca but were exchanged for other paintings. Two parts of the predella, however, remained at the Pinacoteca. (Source: Brera Pinacoteca [website]; http://pinacotecabre ra.org/en/)
