One of the artist's last works, it was painted after his return to his birthplace of Bergamo, a phase during which he was heavily influenced by Albrecht Dürer, Albrecht Altdorfer and other German art, as also seen in The Crossing of the Red Sea and Crucifixion.[1] It is considered one of his most intense paintings.[2] It seems to be linked with the recited mystery plays popular at the time of its production[1] as well as the work of the same title by Previtali's friend Lorenzo Lotto in Sant'Alessandro in Colonna, also in Bergamo - Lotto and Previtali's studios were next-door to each other near the church of San Michele al Pozzo Bianco, enabling them to compare and study each other's work.[3]
