Focus on this artwork and analyze the History.
Mantegna's use of canvas for the work as well as its stylistic similarities to the Trivulzio Madonna date it to his later period. It left Italy in the mid-19th century and by 1909 was in a private collection in Marseille. Sotheby's auctioned it in Monaco on 21 June 1986, selling it to a European private collection, from which it was acquired by its current owners on the New York market in 1987.
