Catalogue Note
Federico Zeri first identified the author of this painting as the Master of the Incredulity of Saint Thomas, an artist responsible for a large altarpiece of that subject in the Church of San Niccolò in Treviso.1 In 1974, Tempestini constructed a comprehensive corpus of works for this anonymous master2 and later convincingly linked him to Luca Antonio Busati.3
We are grateful to Dr. Peter Humfrey who has endorsed this attribution on the basis of photographs.
