In this artwork, how is the History discussed?
Liberato Bartelli gave this artwork to the Duomo in San Severino Marche. He was a native of the city and was then serving as protonotary apostolic and canon of Santa Maria in Trastevere in Rome. At the end of 1488, he was made prior of the church in his home town of San Severino Marche. He seems to have commissioned the work to commemorate this event. Pinturicchio was then among a new generation of artists working in Rome and probably delivered the work around 1490. 
Pinturicchio used the painting's figure of the Madonna as a model for later autograph works such as Madonna with the Christ Child Reading (North Carolina Museum of Art) and Madonna with the Christ Child Writing (Philadelphia Museum of Art), both datable to between 1494 and 1498. Other Madonnas derived from it (such as that in the Kress collection (now part of the National Gallery of Art in Washington) are studio works.
