This painting and \'Four Scenes from the Early Life of Saint Zenobius\' are from a series illustrating the life of the 5th-century bishop Zenobius, one of Florence\'s patron saints, perhaps made as domestic decorations for a patrician family (two other panels from the series survive). The panels illustrate episodes from Fra Clemente Mazza\'s \'Life of Saint Zenobius\', first printed in 1487. Top, from left to right: Saint Zenobius renounces his intended bride; he is baptized by Saint Theodosius, Bishop of Florence; his mother is baptized; he is consecrated Bishop of Florence by the Pope. Bottom, from left to right: the saint exorcises devils from two youths possessed as a result of their mother\'s curse; he resurrects a dead boy, here lying in the lap of his wailing mother; and he restores the sight of a blind pagan who had promised to convert to Christianity.
