Whether or not the dating is accurate, the work is believed to have originated from Caravaggio's late Roman period, [6] which ended with the painter's exile to Malta in 1606.

Peter is subject of other works by Caravaggio, namely the Crucifixion of Saint Peter (1601) and The Denial of Saint Peter (1610).

Nativity with Saint Francis and Saint Lawrence, Caravaggio, 1609. 268 cm × 197 cm (106 in × 78 in) The Nativity with Saint Francis and Saint Lawrence is a painting of the nativity of Jesus from 1609 by Italian painter Caravaggio. It has been missing since 1969 when it was stolen from the Oratory of Saint Lawrence in Palermo.
