Vasari relates that Titian painted it in 1507, "at the time of the war of the Emperor Maximilian, as he himself tells". Giovanni Morelli also considered this version an early work. But the style contradicts this view, and therefore the picture is put down by Crowe and Cavalcaselle to the same time as the Presentation of the Virgin. Gronau and Ricketts think that it was done a short time later, in the early 1540s.
