The work was commissioned by the Provveditori della Fabbrica to Paolo Veronese, who accepted and started the piece in 1580. The death of the painter that same year caused the painting to be completed by his children Carlo and Gabriele, who signed it in the lower center: “Heredes Pauli Caliari Vero faciebant”.
