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 (?). It is probable it was the altarpiece of the Stoldi Chapel in Santa Maria degli Angeli, Florence. In the centre, Saint John baptizes Christ, with God the Father & the Holy Spirit above. 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. ...

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. ...
