Possible non-composer Enguerrands as fathers, or simply as comparison, in the previous generation include the chronicler Enguerrand de Monstrelet (c.1400-1453) in Burgundy, and the painter Enguerrand Quarton (c.1412-1466) of Laon in Provence.
The painting came from Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, just across the Rhône from Avignon, and is sometimes known as the "Villeneuve Pietà".

The painting remains in the monastery Chartreuse du Val de Bénédiction, Villeneuve-lès-Avignon, for which it was commissioned by a local clergyman, Jean de Montagny.

The Coronation of the Virgin is a common subject in art but the contract for this work specifies the unusual representation of the Father and Son of the Holy Trinity as identical figures (very rare in the 15th century, though there are other examples), but allows Quarton to represent the Virgin as he chooses.
