Neri de Bicci was a prolific painter of mainly religious themes, active principally in Florence as a panel painter. His grandfather, Lorenzo di Bicci was also a painter in Florence. His journals from the years 1453–75, including the rates of payment for his work, are still preserved in the library of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. The removal of a thick coat of soiled and discolored varnish in 1943 gave this painting new life.
