This important altarpiece was most likely painted for the church of Santo Stefano al Ponte, in Florence, by one of Giotto di Bondone's closest pupils. Originally the figures were shown on individually framed arched panels, as was traditional with Gothic altarpieces. A century and a half later the Gothic elements were removed and the painting was updated in the rectangular Renaissance-style frame seen today.
