## Artwork

- Artist: [ROTTENHAMMER, Hans I](<https://beta.wga.hu/artists/rottenhammer-hans-i-r259e0e8ebad221>)

## Commentary

This dated painting was executed in 1608. By that year the artist had settled in Augsburg, after a lengthy stay in Venice. Following his return to his homeland, Rottenhammer&#39;s figural style remained strongly rooted in Venice, and recalls Venetian prototypes in both pose and expression. In the present picture the debt to Veronese reveals itself most strongly.
