Bassano was a Renaissance Venetian painter who is known for his religious paintings. His many paintings of biblical subjects date mainly from after 1560 and like this one are characterised by 'unearthly pale light, colours, and nervous attenuated figures in affectedly sophisticated poses'. Bassano painted at least three other versions of this scene.
