Luini decorated three rooms and the chapel of the Villa Pelucca, Gerolamo Rabia’s country house at Sesto San Giovanni, near Monza. The present picture, with P537, formed part of the decorations of the cabinet room. In addition to 'Putto Picking Grapes', six further lunettes are known (Milan, Brera; Paris, Louvre; Chantilly, Musée Condé). The villa belonged to Eugène de Beauharnais in 1806, when the frescoes were badly restored. When, in 1816, the Austrian government proposed to turn it into a farmhouse, the Brera Accademia obtained permission to detach some of the frescoes.
