The altarpiece was commissioned for the Florentine convent church of San Pier Maggiore, where it formed the backdrop to a ceremony related to the ordination of every new bishop of Florence. The bishop would offer a ring to the convent abbess to signifiy his spritual marriage to the church. This may explain the prominence of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, shown on the right of the front row in a pink dress, who was symbolically married to Christ.
