Appropriately for its position over the altar and
tabernacle, the main theme of the altarpiece is the Holy Eucharist.The
eucharistic theme is taken up by the central panel , a representation of
the Holy Trinity in which the crucified Christ is most prominent.
Some of the individual figures are closely based on
medieval and Renaissance sources, particularly the central panel which is
adapted from a painting (bottom right) of the Holy Trinity by the 15th century artist
Pesellino(c-1422-1457), now in the National Gallery in London.
