This panel, formerly in the Palazzo Venezia, Rome, after which the anonymous painter was named, once stood in the centre of an altarpiece. Three panels were identified as main tier panels of the same altarpiece: St Mary Magdalene and St Peter (both in the National Gallery, London) and St Paul (private collection).
