On the left wall, the imaginative story of Saint Stephen, patron saint of Prato and the Cathedral, is told based on ancient texts. In the lunette, the Birth of Saint Stephen is painted, set in a bedroom from the mid-15th century, and his substitution with a devil, in the form of a child, by a demon. Stephen, as a newborn, is then left on a drifting ship, and later nursed by a deer and found by a woman who delivers him to Bishop Giuliano.
