History.
Mantegna concentrates the characters from his "Presentation at the Temple" into a smaller space to produce a work intended for private devotion. To the left of the Virgin and Child is Saint Joseph and to the right are Saint Anne and John the Baptist. Joseph and John look directly at the viewer. The painter kept returning to the scene in various copies and variants, including one now at the Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona, one at the Musée Jacquemart-André in Paris and one at the Galleria Sabauda in Turin.
