As a center for Europe’s luxury trade in the early 16th century, Antwerp’s markets attracted artists from neighboring regions. There Joos van Cleve found an international clientele and learned to adapt the ideal forms of the Italian Renaissance to a northern European context. In this painting, the poses and modeling of the intertwined children derive from Leonardo da Vinci, but Joos placed the figures in the flamboyant architecture that characterized the Renaissance in northern Europe. The many surviving version of this composition attest to its popularity. This one is unique because it includes the arms of its first owner. He was Pompejus Occo (1483-1537), the Amsterdam representative of the powerful German banking firm of Fugger.
