He comes from the top of the left panel of a large polyptych (an altarpiece made up of many panels) which was painted in Florence in the 1420s by Giovanni dal Ponte for the high altar of the church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Pratovecchio.
Completing the scene on the top of the right panel of the altarpiece is The Virgin Annunciate. Between the two, on top of the central panel, is the Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove. This combination was a common choice of scenes for pinnacles in early fifteenth-century Italy.
