This panel, together with St. Helen and St. Constantine and St. Sebastian comprised the lower register of a polyptych, testifying to the genre’s survival well into the 16th century when time sacred conversations in a single space become the norm
The presence in the central panel of the Cross, together with the Emperor Constantine and his mother Helen who discovered the True Cross in Jerusalem, reveal that the polyptych was painted for the church of Santa Croce in Gerosa, near Bergamo.
