This relief is one of the five hexagonal panels in the lower register of the socle on the north side of the Campanile which were added after removal of the raised passageway between the campanile and the cathedral. These panels were executed by Luca della Robbia in 1437-39.

The second of the five panels depicts Logic and Dialectic, represented by Plato and Aristotle.

The reliefs on the Campanile are described in the section of Andrea Pisano.
