It was commissioned by Giusto Bonvicini, abbot of the Camaldolese Santi Giusto e Clemente Abbey in Volterra - the two standing saints may be saints Giovanni Gualberto and Saint Romuald, linked to the Camaldolese Congregation. It was painted in Ghirlandaio's studio in Florence (only details and the original composition are thought to be by the master) and taken to Volterra, where it is now in the town's Pinacoteca e museo civico di Volterra.

Christ in Glory with Four Saints and a Donor in the context of God the Son

God the Son (Greek: Θεὸς ὁ Υἱός, Latin: Deus Filius) or God the Word (Greek: Θεὸς ὁ Λόγος, Latin: Deus Verbum) is the second Person of the Trinity in Christian theology. According to mainstream Christian doctrine, God the Son, in the form of Jesus Christ, is the incarnation of the eternal, pre-existent divine Logos (Koine Greek for "word") through whom all things were created. Although the precise term "God the Son" does not appear in the Bible, it serves as a theological designation expressing the understanding of Jesus as a part of the Trinity, distinct yet united in essence with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit (the first and third Persons of the Trinity respectively).
