Giorgio Vasari called it "a truly rare and extraordinary work". The painting was moved to Dresden in 1754 and is well known for its influence on the German and Russian art scenes. After World War II, it was relocated to Moscow for a decade before being returned to the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden.
