Il Bergognone was a painter from Fossano, a small village in southern Piedmont, active in Milan from 1472. Bergognone was very prolific, and his work can still be seen in several churches nearby, including San Simpliciano, although his best work is at the Certosa di Pavia. This fresco is much older fresco than his other frescoes in the Brera’s collections. When it was removed and transferred to canvas, it lost the image of God the Father at the top.
