The predella of the Polyptych of St Vincent Ferrer contains five miracles of the Saint: St Vincent saves a drowned woman and brings back to life those buried under the ruins; St Vincent consumes the flesh of a man and a woman guilty of a crime with the fire of the Word and saves their souls; St Vincent brings a child back to life and frees the prisoners.

The picture shows the right predella representing St Vincent brings a child back to life and frees the prisoners.
