This work is thought to have been painted during the artist’s stay in Venice from 1598 to 1600. The vibrant colours, the dramatic use of light as a way of reinforcing the narrative and the dynamic movement of the figures creating a zig-zag type of composition reflect the works of his Venetian contemporaries, particularly Tintoretto and Veronese.
