Giovanni da Milano, a Lombard painter settled in Florence around 1360, was commissioned by Lapo di Lizio Guidalotti (died c. 1350) to execute a modest fresco cycle in the Rinuccini Chapel of the Franciscan church of Santa Croce in Florence. The artist painted 5-5 scenes to the side walls of the chapel from the life of the Virgin and Magdalene. The scenes can be considered as variants of the cycles in the Baroncelli Chapel in the Santa Croce (by Taddeo Gaddi) and in the Magdalene Chapel in the Lower Church of the San Francesco in Assisi (by Giotto's circle).
