## Commentary

Pellegrino Tibaldi \(also Pellegrino da Bologna\) was influenced by Perin del Vaga during a stay in Rome in 1547 \(as seen in the decoration of the Castel Sant&#39; Angelo\). Later he orientated towards Michelangelo. In his Adoration of the Christ Child, 1548, Pellegrino Tibaldi surrounds the infant Jesus by a whirling crowd of worshipping figures reminiscent of the angels and the damned in the Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel.
