Jacopo Palma il Giovane took over the commission after Domenico Tintoretto failed to produce an altarpiece on time. A Venice cityscape fills the canvas beneath the saints, offering a view of Venice as it looked in 1614. The composition follows the great tradition of Venitian painting characterised by a strong sense of perspective and colour, and well  exemplified by Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto, and Jacopo's great uncle, Palma il Vecchio.
