It was originally commissioned by the Confraternity of the Trinity for pilgrims in Cortone, a town where Signorelli produced several works.[2] It was later in the San Niccolò Monastery in Cafaggio from 1810 to 1919.[3] Its predella included scenes of The Wedding at Cana, Christ at Gethsemane and The Flagellation of Christ - it was detached and moved to the Galleria dell'Accademia, also in Florence.[4]
