The Roverella polyptych is a masterful work by Cosmé Tura, the court painter of the Este family in Ferrara. The work was commissioned at the end of the fifteenth century by the Roverella family for the church of San Giorgio. The ancient history of the painting can only be reconstructed from 1706. In the nineteenth century, the Polyptych was dismembered and our work, corresponding to the lower right compartment of the composition, is documented in the Colonna collection starting from 1836. The identification of the other compartments was rebuilt by Roberto Longhi and the two most famous parts are preserved in important European museums: the central door depicting the Madonna enthroned with musician angels at the National Gallery in London and the monumental lunette above, depicting the Deposition of Christ, at the Louvre Museum in Paris.
