According to Suida, stylistically “this painting is closely connected with several cyclical representations of the legends of St Severin, St Ursula, St Lawrence, St Gereon, and St Bernard, which originated in Cologne at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th centuries. The anonymous ‘Master of St Severin’ is but the leading personality of a group of painters active in Cologne between 1480 and 1520.”
