In 1594 Bernini returned to Florence with his new wife Angelica Galante. There he entered into an association with the sculptor Giovanni Battista Caccini, collaborating on a high relief of the Trinity for Santa Trinita before returning to Naples in 1596 to fulfil a commission for the Certosa di San Martino. His three works at the Certosa - a statue of Purity, a large relief of St Martin and the Beggar and a group of the Virgin and Child with the Young St John - show that Bernini was strongly influenced by Caccini and the late work of Giambologna and his circle.
The Virgin and Child was recarved later by Cosimo Fanzago.
