his is one of three paintings that Artemisia provided for
the renovation of a cathedral at Pozzuoli. The scene is a relatively solemn, subdued work
for Artemisia, but quite appropriate for a liturgical painting. The male figures seem
disproportionally large compared with the dignified Madonna and child dwarfed at left.
rtemisia collaborated with Massimo Stanzione,
a Neapolitan emulator of Caravaggio who had moved to Naples around the same time as
Artemisia. Although Stanzione was eight years her senior, it appears that she influenced his style.
