The altarpiece was commissioned for the chapel of the medici villa of cafaggiolo, renovated by michelozzo in 1451. Wedgwood kennedy hypothesizes a commission by piero il gottoso, for whom baldovinetti had already worked in the chapel of the ss. Annunziata and, perhaps, in that of s. Croce. The scholar suggests a dating for the commission to 1453, the year of birth of giuliano, piero's second son, supported by the presence of san giuliano together with the other "medici" saints.
