On the predella, beautifully painted in miniature, episodes from the life of St Dominic, and other images of saints and angels are represented.

On the right side of the predella we can see the scenes of the angels serve dinner to the friars, the death of St Dominic, and, finally a representation of St Thomas Aquinas.
