The immense composition is set on the end wall of the Sala del Collegio, above the thrones reserved for the members of the Collegio (the doge, six councilors, the ministers, the heads of the Council of Ten, and the general chancellor of the Republic). The doge, on the right offers thanks to the Redeemer for the victory of Lepanto. He is attended by saints and the allegorical figures of Faith and Justice.
