Comments
This panel is part of an ensemble of 18 pieces (all in Verona) which, according to Marchini (2008), originally belonged to a tabernacle (see related pieces).

Provenance
Marchini (2008) argues that this panel, together with 17 other ones also in Verona, were originally part of a tabernacle, possibly kept in the Benedictine abbey of Santa Bona of Vidor (province of Treviso). Following the suppression of the abbey, all properties and goods were purchased by Nicolò Erizzo, Procurator of San Marco, on 11 June 1773. Still according to Marchini, the tabernacle (or the dismounted plaquettes) could have entered Palazzo Miniscalchi-Erizzo in 1808 with the marriage of Marianna Erizzo and Luigi Miniscalchi.
