The exposition The Rigour and the Grace at the Boboli Garden comprehends works of art that results new to the public, as they have been never exposed. They all belonged to the company of San Benedetto Bianco, that during the 17^th century decided to make their oratory and domicile more sumptuous. Many of the members were artists, but it also happened that the works of art were commissioned to artists of that time, and this is the case of eight canvas with biblical subject, commissioned from the friar Gabriello Zuti. All the canvas are of high value, as Cristofano Allori’s work, that we can see today after a long restoration aimed to cancel the damages that the floating of 1966 caused.

The subject of the painting exposed at the Exposition The Rigour and the Grace at at the Boboli Garden are obviously religious subject. The willing of San Benedetto company wanted to get close to Christ’s sacrifice, the target point that they tried to reach through a long path of sacrifices and often also with self-flagellation. As a result, they had to remember in every moment of their daily life the suffering of the Passion of Christ. This is exactly the point of the works that they painted or that they commissioned: most of them portray a suffering Christ on the cross or in other moments of the Via Crucis.
