The painting was long assumed to be by Peter Paul Rubens, who had treated similar subjects involving the fishermanSimon Peter. Wilhelm von Bode bought it as a Rubens (in London, in 1911), and the Rubens specialist Justus Müller-Hofstede confirmed that attribution in 1969. Only in 1977 did a consensus emerge among art historians that the painting is a work from the end of the early period of the long-lived Jacob Jordaens's career. This was established on compositional as well as chromatic grounds.[1]
The purpose of the painting has never been satisfactorily established. It is too large for an oil sketch, and too rough for an official commission. It may be a modello for a lost, larger and more polished painting, or for a tapestry. It could also have been destined for a predella.[2][1]
