The reopening of the Galleria Nazionale d´Arte Antica in Rome, finally enlarged and restored, has enabled the conservation and new display of works in storage, including such important paintings as a Virgin and Child and St. Anne with a landscape background attributed to Denys Calvaert, which is here given to Francesco Salviati on grounds of style and dated to about 1541, on the artist´s return to Rome after sojourns in Bologna and Venice. This was the period of the Adoration of the Shepherds in the Uffizi Gallery, a work full of Northern reminiscences, whose style and form closely resemble our painting, of which a small replica exists in the Musée Granet in Aix-en-Provence.
