The Virgin and Child are seated on a throne in front of a cloth of honour in this large and highly decorative altarpiece. They are surrounded by saints, in a composition known as a sacra conversazione (‘holy conversation’). On the Virgin’s right are Saints John the Baptist and Gall, the patron of the church for which this was painted. On her left are Saints James, with pilgrim badges in his hat, and Bartholomew, holding the knife which which he was flayed. Inscribed on the vaulting of the apse behind them are the abbreviated Latin words, ‘Rejoice, Queen of Heaven, Hallelujah’, the opening lines of a famous hymn to the Virgin. The church’s decoration reflects the tradition of mosaics in medieval Venetian churches; the artist, Marco Marziale, was Venetian.
