Madonna and Child with Saint Catherine and Saint James

The first written mention of the painting dates to 1660, when Boschini's Carta del navigar pittoresco la citò, by which time it was already in the Habsburg collections - that work called it "splendid... well-thought-out and memorable". He mis-attributed to Palma il Vecchio, rather than Lotto using a composition by Palma as it is now held to be. It was probably produced as a private (rather than church) commission just after Lotto's arrival in Venice[3].
