We don‘t know where the series was meant to be displayed – perhaps Federico’s library at Urbino – but the panels were originally much larger and were designed to be hung high up on the wall. Above the throne is an inscription giving one of Federico’s titles, which were listed on the paintings in a set order. ’ECCLESIE CONFALONERIUS' (Standard-bearer of the Church) came at the end of the list, making Music the last in the series of seven.
