This fresco, which was damaged – especially in its upper part – when it was transferred onto canvas, may come from the former convent of the Colomba in Cremona. Altobello Melone is likely to have painted it sometime after completing his crucial work in Cremona cathedral. He interprets the Adoration, a religious subject, in a popular vein, strongly characterising his figures and focusing the light on the foreshortened body of the Christ Child.
