We thank Professor Riccardo Lattuada for confirming the present attribution after examining the work in person. The scholar considers the painting to be the finest known version of this composition  -of which other examples are recorded- testifying to the great success achieved by the artist. The painting can be dated to 1625-30, during the painter's stay in Rome or upon his return to Naples.

Sono evidenti i richiami al celebre dipinto omonimo di Caravaggio oggi a Potsdam, di cui Stazione riprende il numero, la disposizione e la posa dei personaggi, ma con una conduzione narrativa meno irruenta. Fortemente naturalistici restano i volti degli apostoli, con le vesti caratterizzate da una pennellate dense e materiche. Gli accentuati contrasti chiaroscurali e le corpose stesure cromatiche, dai toni prevalentemente foschi e bituminosi, si accendono nei brani colpiti dalla luce che cade dall'alto a sinistra. Tuttavia nel dipinto già si possono notare i primi influssi reniani, verso la ricerca di un classicismo neoveneto, nell'utilizzo dei blu e degli ocra e nella figura del Cristo, dalla bellezza elegante e malinconica.
