The Neapolitan painter Angiolillo Arcuccio produced this devotional work circa 1475-1485. The highly geometric forms of the figures, which reappear in other compositions by the artist from this period, are typical of the painter.


We are grateful to Professor Emanuele Zappasodi for proposing the attribution to Arcuccio and for preparing a written dossier on the present work, which is available upon request.
