The statue was executed for the Compagnia delle Morte of Siena (as indicated by a small skull on the platform), then transferred to the parish church of Foligno where it was attributed to Vecchietta. After a restoration in 1949 Francesco di Giorgio was accepted as the sculptor of this vigorous work.
