Explore the History of this artwork.
The painting was commissioned by the Brotherhood of St. Jerome in Arezzo for their seat. The work was executed in Cortona and was brought to Arezzo by the painter himself, who was then in his seventies (here, he resided in the Vasari family's house and met the young Giorgio Vasari, his future biographer, who started to practice painting  after Signorelli's suggestion).
It is the last work by Signorelli, who died after returning to Cortona.
