| Place of origin |
This panel is made by Gregorio di Lorenzo (formerly called the Master of the Marble Madonnas) in the second half of the 15th century.
Gregorio di Lorenzo trained in the workshop of Desiderio da Settignano was active in Florence between 1455 and 1495. He was strongly influenced by Antonio Rossellino who after a period of activity in Tuscany worked in Urbino and its neighbourhood. In this respect his style runs parallel with that of Domenico Rossellini.
