## Commentary

The painting shows a Gothic building which is subdivided into numerous parts: its width is divided into three naves intersected by two imposing pilasters. The church is also subdivided in depth by the narthex followed by the central nave, the transept and the apse. Around the aisles, monks and townsfolk gather in the chapels. Small figures, distributed throughout the various parts of the church, punctuate the architectural elements, imbuing the entire painting with a lively and cheerful atmosphere.
