Handwritten note: Altar commissioned 1595, finished 1596.;

\r\n

From Ostrow, “Visions and revisions”: gives some of other drawings relating to this composition and references to others, though not all.  Commission of altar was given Vanni in June 1593 and it was completed 1596, date probably still on painting, though not fully legible. (See reference Bib. 4498);
