This is an altarpiece of the Camaldolese Order dedicated to Saint John the Baptist. An inscription which is now no longer visible, recorded that it was painted for Filippo Neroni in 1387 (?).

On the wings of the triptych are Saint Peter (left), & Saint Paul (right); the predella, or lower section of the altarpiece, shows episodes from the life of Saint John the Baptist. At the far ends are Saints Benedict (left) & Romuald (right). The pinnacles & side pilasters are missing. ...

Legal documents mention a Giovanni ‘painter’, then ‘master’, living in Rimini between 1292 & 1336. He is assumed to be the same artist as the JOHES PICTOR (John the Painter) who signed the monumental Crucifix still in the church of San Francesco in the hill town of Mercatello sul Metauro. The very damaged frescoes representing the ' Life of the Virgin, with Augustinian Saints & Two Female Donors' in the Campanile Chapel of San Agostino, Rimini (dated. c. 1300 – 1310) are probably also by Giovanni. Giovanni da Rimini was one of a small group of artists who for a short period in the early 14th century made the Italian port city of Rimini a centre for some of the most innovative painting in Europe, characterised by its combination of jewel-like delicacy, emotional intensity & iconographic originality. Surviving paintings by members of the School of Rimini are rare, & paintings by Giovanni, the most talented member of the group, are exceptionally so. ...
