Footnotes

Provenance
Probably the Chiesa di S. Silvestro, Venice
Private Collection, Hungary

A treatment of the present subject, originally in the Chiesa di San Silvestro, Venice, is listed by Magani as missing (see: F. Magani, Antonio Bellucci, Rimini 1995, p.191, cat no. 31). In his Voyage d'Italie of 1758 Charles Nicolas Cochin mentions that the picture was hanging high up on the left, which would fit with the high vanishing point of the present picture, suggesting that the painting was intended to be seen from below. He also believed the painting to imitate the style of Paolo Veronese which would also support the identification with the present picture.
