Predella in wood with biblical episodes
The table, framed by a wooden covering not coeval with the painting, is decorated with six painted compartments depicting biblical episodes united by the theme of food and water. The scenes represent Moses making it rain the Manna; Moses making water gush from the mountain; Abraham with Melchizedek; Elijah receives bread and water from an angel; transmutation of water into wine; multiplication of the loaves and pashas. The unusual iconographic choice suggests the derivation of the work from a context linked to the charity activity of a brotherhood.
