Small bronzes almost always present problems of attribution. A bronze is rarely signed, dated, or otherwise documented—for example by a provenance leading directly back to an early inventory, by accounts of payments identifying it, or by contemporary letters describing the work.

Only two works in The Frick Collection belong to the unusual genus of bronzes that are both signed and dated: the Barbet Angel is one, the Vecchietta Resurrection the other. The original function of the Resurrection relief is unknown, although it may have served as the door to a tabernacle. Whatever its destination, the artist clearly took pride in his achievement, for he inscribed his name and the date prominently on Christ
