This work, along with the Ascent to Calvary, realised by the same artist for the Church of the Redentore, recalls The Passion theme and is enhanced by pictoral decoration from the lateral chapels.

During those same years the artist had works in progress for the Basilica of the Salute, for which he realised the sculptural decoration.
