Originally part of a large altarpiece, this painting is one of thirteen panels illustrating scenes from the life of St Vincent Ferrer (c.1350–1419) who was canonised in 1455. The altarpiece was made for the church of S. Domenico in Modena: Bartolomeo worked on this and on other commissions there from 1450 in collaboration with his brother Agnolo. The pope may be Benedict XIII, the Avignonese pope of the Great Schism (when there were three claimants to the papal throne) before whom St Vincent preached in his attempts to resolve the Schism.
