note:  Three notes dated to July 1523 recount some of the expenditures incurred by Romano and Penni to complete this painting, with payment to Giulio Romano confirmed in a notarial document dated 3 July 1523 (Ferrara 1992, pp. 36-38). As Henry and Joannides note: "whether the lower panel was a physical transplan from some other, aborted, project, or whteher only its edsign was for another commission is uncertain, but . . . it can be separated from the upper section" (p. 49). https://www.museivaticani.va/content/museivaticani/it/collezioni/musei/la-pinacoteca/sala-x---secolo-xvi/giulio-romano--incoronazione-della-vergine.html
