In the right background Saint George kills the dragon and Anthony the Great meditates in a cave, whilst Gottard lances Saint Roch's boil in the centre foreground. These sets of figures are divided by a river, as in the same artist's The Tempest.[1] The present of Saint Roch suggests the work was painted in thanks for the end of the 1504 plague in the Veneto.[2] The work shows influences from both Leonardo da Vinci and the Danube School.[3]
