It first became known to critics early in the 20th century and was lent to the Fogg Art Museum in 1905 or 1906, where it was seen and studied by Bernard Berenson, who published his work on it in 1907. His attribution of it to Correggio was supported by Adolfo Venturi and then in the 1970s by Arturo Carlo Quintavalle and Cecil Gould. David Alan Brown disagreed, thinking it an exercise in imitation of Correggio by Francesco Maria Rondani, a painter from Parma. In more recent years David Ekserdjian has doubted the attribution to Correggio, though it has been supported by Mario Di Giampaolo and Andrea Muzzi. [3]
Antonio Allegri da Correggio, usually known as just Correggio was an Italian Renaissance painter who was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the High Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the sixteenth century. In his use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Baroque art of the seventeenth century and the Rococo art of the eighteenth century. He is considered a master of chiaroscuro.
Giorgione was an Italian painter of the Venetian school during the High Renaissance, who died in his thirties. He is known for the elusive poetic quality of his work, though only about six surviving paintings are firmly attributed to him.

Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, also known as Francesco Mazzola or, more commonly, as Parmigianino, was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active in Florence, Rome, Bologna, and his native city of Parma. His work is characterized by a "refined sensuality" and often elongation of forms and includes Vision of Saint Jerome (1527) and the iconic if somewhat anomalous Madonna with the Long Neck (1534), and he remains the best known artist of the first generation whose whole careers fall into the Mannerist period.
