According to Pungileoni painted 1527-1528; according to Ricci,

designed by Correggio himself. It bears the date 1530, when the
picture was placed in the church of S. Sepolcro, Parma. Taken as
French booty in 1796, but returned to Parma in 1816. Now in the Parma

Correggio, 1521-1522; probably first belonged to the Counts Prati, of
