The lunettes were originally placed in the headquarters of the School of the Holy Sacrament in the campo of San Zaccaria; currently, the first three are located in the Chapel of Sant’Atanasio, while the fourth is placed above the entrance door. The paintings are characterized by a cool light and predominantly muted colors, typical of Jacopo’s late works.
