The present painting was seen by Waagen in the study of Sir Archibald Campbell at Garscube House; he described it as ‘an excellent work of his [Palma il Giovane] earlier and better time’. The work remained in the collection of the Barons of Succoth until 1977 when, after a thirty-year loan to the Glasgow Art Museum and Gallery, Sir Ilay Mark Campbell sold the painting at auction.
According to Mason Rinaldi (see literature), the present painting can be dated to circa 1620. Indeed, the overall composition, as well as the rocky outcrop and above all the crystalline light enhancing the patches of ochre, red, green and blue of the figure’s robes can be compared to Palma’s Lamentation in the Staatsgalerie Würzburg (inv. no. 4227).
A related drawing by Palma il Giovane, in a private collection, has a rounded top and may indicate the form Palma originally intended for the present work; a similar composition is also in The Tambov Museum, in Russia (152.5 x 120.5 cm; inv. no. ZZ-5).
The paintings of Palma il Giovane reveal the extent to which the artist inherited the Grand Manner of the Venetian Cinquecento – so much so, that Palma can be considered the last great exponent of the Venetian High Renaissance, and although the tradition has since been questioned, he is traditionally thought to have been a pupil of Titian.
During the late 1550s and early 1560s Palma worked in central Italy, mainly in Rome, before returning to Venice where he remained. After the death of Tintoretto in 1594, he enjoyed over three decades as the leading painter in the city.
