It is possible that Perugino delegated the work to one of the assistants although some parts – Christ and Jerome’s heads, and the atmospheric, soft landscape – look more like his work. Perugino might have made it himself, working quickly and reusing existing designs and drawings – common practice for him at the end of his career. As a result he received fewer commissions, while his pupil Raphael overtook his fame.
