The painting by Giovanni Baronzio illustrates six episodes from the Passion of Christ, inserted in square compartments and readable counterclockwise, starting at the top left: Deposition, Lamentation, Resurrection, Descent into Limbo, Ascension and Pentecost. In an article by Federico Zeri (1958), the work was for the first time related to a similar painting kept at the Museum of the City of Rimini: the two paintings - together with others not currently found - constituted the front panel of a altar of the Franciscan convent of Villa Verucchio. In the work exhibited at Palazzo Barberini, the scenes of the Passion following the death of Christ are found, in the Rimini one the preceding scenes: in both, however, the episode of the Crucifixion is missing, which was therefore to be depicted in another compartment, placed above or between the two tables. The narrative layout of the scenes, the chromatic range, the search for verisimilitude in the rendering of the bodies and space make evident the importance of Giotto's presence in Rimini for the development of the fourteenth-century local school.
