St Justina of Padua with a Donor (c. 1530) by Moretto da Brescia

Its original location is unknown and no documents survive stating its provenance or commissioner.[1] The first surviving reference to the work is in a 1662 document relating to its move from the Hofburg to Ambras Castle (it was then in the Holy Roman Empire's collections).[1] That document referred to it as a work by Titian and in inventories immediately before the move it was ascribed to Raphael.[1] A 1733 inventory re-attributed it yet again, this time to Pordenone.[1] In 1845 Ransonnet restored its correct attribution to Moretto.[2]
