Provenance: Bonham's, London New Bond Street, sale of July 8, 2015, Lot 93. Lot Note: The present composition derives from the original painting in St. Bavo’s Cathedral, Ghent. Commissioned by Mgr. Triest, Bishop of Ghent, the painting was reproduced in reverse in an engraving by Paulus Pontius in 1634. The painting was possibly executed by a Fleming in the workshop of Gerrit van Honthorst. This work was previously confirmed by Wayne E. Franits, on the basis of color photographs, as either from the workshop of Honthorst or a contemporary copy.
