Both this panel and the others that made up the so-called saint benedict altarpiece - the adoration of the magi, the presentation of the child in the temple and the child jesus among the doctors, all in the national museum of ancient art, as well as the missing christ deposed from the cross - belonged to the altarpiece set of the chapel of the savior of the church of the convent of são francisco, in lisbon. From there, in the 17th century, they moved to the chapel of nossa senhora dos prazeres in the são bento da saúde monastery and, with the extinction of religious orders in 1834, to the royal academy of fine arts, from where they passed to the national museum of ancient art. Adriano de gusmão published a document dated may 17, 1525, discovered by vitorino magalhães godinho (torre do tombo, corpo chronológico, part ii, pack 125, no. Tor of the senate). Based on this testimony, in addition to the document found by reinaldo dos santos in torre do tombo and which belonged to a book of notes of the monastery of são bento da saúde (code nº 21 of the são bento registry office), and a receipt for payment to gregório lopes dated 1520 and published by seabra oak, it was possible to determine both the authorship/partnership of the work and its execution date. Object Type: painting. Genre: religious art. Date: between 1520 and 1525. Collection: National Museum of Ancient Art. Visitação - Igreja S. Francisco
