This is a fragment of the predella of the altarpiece painted for the high altar of the franciscan church of santa croce. It was dismantled in 1566 and installed in the friars' dormitory. At the end of the eighteenth century or in 1810, when the friary was suppressed, most, if not all of the altarpiece entered the young ottley collection. The predella scenes, showing the passion of christ, would have had the following pieces: the ‘last supper’ (lehman collection, metropolitan museum of art, new york), the ‘betrayal’ (no. 1188, national gallery, london), the ‘flagellation’ (gemäldegalerie, berlin), the ‘ascent to calvary’, the ‘deposition’ (nos. 1189 and 3375, national gallery, london), the ‘entombment’ (gemäldegalerie, berlin), and the ‘resurrection’ (no. 4191, national gallery, london).
