The conception and execution of this work clearly show an affinity with <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/c/calvaert/holyfami.html'\)" href="/html/c/calvaert/holyfami.html">Calvaert's small devotional works on copper,</a> combining the colour and detail that Calvaert brought from his Flemish heritage with the mannerist tradition found in Bologna. ## Related artworks - [Adam]() - [Angel of the Annunciation]() - [Annunciation to Joachim]() - [Atalanta and Hippomenes]() - [Atalanta and Hippomenes]() - [Aurora]() - [Aurora]() - [Baptism of Christ]() - [Birth of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Birth of the Virgin]() - [Cleopatra]() - [Cleopatra with the Asp]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
