The present panel, most likely part of a predella, depicts scenes from the life of Saint Julian the Hospitaller, patron saint of pilgrims, travellers and innkeepers. According to the Legenda Aurea, Julian is said to have killed his parents by accident, having mistaken them for his wife and her supposed lover. The scene on the right shows the Saint realising his mistake after meeting his wife shortly after.
The present composition recalls of the famous example painted by Masaccio in 1426 for the church Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence (now in Berlin) in the symmetric division of the space and the simultaneous representation of the chronologically divided moments of the legend.
