On 22 April 1499, Gerozzo di Monna Vanna Dini commissioned the work from Fra Bartolomeo, though he was only able to complete the upper part of the lunette before taking vows as a Dominican friar on 26 July 1500 and temporarily renouncing painting. Using Fra Bartolomeo's "finished cartoon" and preparatory drawings, Albertinelli completed the fresco and received payment on 11 March 1501.Vasari described the work passionately: "He conducted with so much diligence and beautiful manner in that part that he ended up acquiring great fame, besides the one he had, much was celebrated for having with very good consideration expressed the glory of Heaven and Christ with the twelve Apostles judge the twelve tribes, which with beautiful cloths are softly colored. (...) This work [remained] imperfect, having more desire to attend to religion than to painting".
