How does this artwork elucidate its History?
The Entombment of Christ was commissioned by Alessandro Martinengo Colleoni for the Dominicans in the church of Santo Stefano. The other predella paintings were Saint Dominic Reviving Napoleone Orsini  and The Stoning of Saint Stephen , with The Entombment of Christ placed between them.
When the church and its monastery were destroyed to built the Venetian walls of Bergamo in 1561, the altarpiece was moved into the new church of Santi Bartolomeo e Stefano, but all three predellas were removed and moved elsewhere. The three predella panels were stolen in 1650, returned, and then moved to the church's sacristy. In 1749, however, the three panels were split up and sold to different buyers, ending their shared history. Finally, in 193, The Entombment was sold to the Accademia Carrara, where it is today.
