Its original provenance is unknown, though it was probably painted for a church outside the Brescian context. It was probably for a Franciscan church, given the presence of three Franciscan saints (Francis of Assisi and Bernardino of Siena in the lower register and Clare of Assisi in the upper register).[2] Also in the upper register are Catherine of Alexandria and the Madonna and Child, whilst below (from left to right) are Jerome, Joseph, Bernardino, Francis and Nicholas of Bari.
