Saint Gaudioso was included in the altarpiece as he was a fifth-century bishop of Brescia. He died in about 445 but his bones were rediscovered in 1454, when the church of S. Alessandro was under construction, and were conserved as a relic in one of the altars. He wears his bishop’s mitre and a large oval morse fastens the jewelled border of his cope. The figures on the morse probably represent the two persons of the Trinity – God and Christ. The face of Saint Gaudioso may be a portrait of a distinguished churchman of Romanino’s own day.
