The work is remembered by Renaissance art biographerGiorgio Vasari as property of aBolognese nobleman, Vincenzo Ercolani. There is trace of payment by him to Raphael for 8ducats in 1510, but this is generally considered just a down payment, since stylistically the work (inspired for example byMichelangelo'sSistine Chapel ceiling) cannot be dated before 1518.
In Florence since as early as 1589, it was ceded toFrancesco I de' Medici and was placed at theUffizi. The painting is known to be at Palazzo Pitti in 1697. In 1799 it was robbed by the French, who kept it in Paris until returning it back in 1816[citation needed].
The work was once considered to be by the hand ofGiulio Romano, with Raphael providing only the drawing. However, it has been subsequently assigned to Raphael.
The painting measures 40 by 30 centimetres (16 in × 12 in).[1]
