Saint Filippo Benizzi (1233–1285) was born in Florence. He became fifth general of the Order of the Servants of Mary (the Servite Order) and its chief propagator and organiser. The Servites were devoted to preaching the Gospel and encouraging devotion to the Virgin Mary. Saint Filippo Benizzi was beatified by Pope Leo X in 1516 and made a saint by Pope Clement X in 1671.
The church for which this altarpiece was made belonged to the Servite Order. Saint Filippo Benizzi is shown wearing the black scapular, tunic and cowl of the Servite Order and holding a lily, which is echoed in the crosier held by Saint Gaudioso, who appears opposite him.
