This panel, and its pair, also 'Icon of Christological Scenes', Italian School, are each decorated with eight scenes. On this painting they are the Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Presentation, Christ among the Doctors, the Agony in the Garden, Scourging and Mocking of Christ. The scenes in both panels are typically Roman Catholic and follow in the tradition of the works of Giovanni Maria Scupola, active in late fifteenth to early sixteenth-century Otranto. A French label on the reverse states they were acquired in Rome in 1858.
