Inscription at bottom: "QUESTA TAVOLA AFATO FARE ANTONIO DI DOMENICHO / GIUGNI P[ER] RIMEDIO DELA SUA ANIMA ANI DNO. MCCCCXVIIII"
The Latin inscription on the base proudly proclaims "This painting was made for Antonio di Domenicho Giugni for the repose of his soul, the year of our Lord 1419." The anonymous artist who painted this work takes his name from this inscription. Although donors for many altarpieces are unknown, a will records that this donor left a sum of money in 1414 for the creation of this work for the Church of Santa Maria Latera (near Cavallina).
