This altarpiece by Neri di Bicci was commissioned by the Lenzi family for their side altar in 1460, shortly after the church was consecrated in 1451. In 1489 the hospital prior Tesori commissioned a new stone outer frame from the sculptor Simone Ferrucci so that the Lenzi altar would match the new Pugliese altar opposite, preserving Neri’s older altarpiece within a new, symmetrical scheme. Neri di Bicci painted panels with the same subjects for other Florentine religious communities. Unlike the Innocenti panel, other original frames survive, which served as a reference for our digital model of the lost carpentry. - Lenzi, Bartolomeo
