This work exemplifies the artistic traditions of Milan during a period of significant cultural flourishing following the Counter Reformation, when the city became a major center for religious art and decoration. The inclusion of "and later" in the dating suggests the piece may have undergone subsequent restoration, modification, or completion by later hands, a common practice for important works across centuries. The Milanese origin points to influence from both local Lombard artistic conventions and broader Italian Renaissance principles that dominated the region during this transitional period between the 16th and 17th centuries.
