The next circle contains the greatest Biblical figures, Moses, David, Abraham, Solomon, Noah, the Evangelists (S.Mark prominent with his lion), and the Early Fathers.

The rest of the picture is given to saints and martyrs.

Not the least interesting figure is the S.Christopher, on the right, low down by the door.

At his feet is the painter's daughter, for years his constant companion, who died while he was at work upon this masterpiece.
The ceiling should be examined, if one has the strength, for Veronese's sumptuous allegory of the Apotheosis of Venice.

In this work the painter's wife sat for Venice, as she sat also for Europa in the picture which we have just seen in the Ante-Collegio.
On the walls are one-and-twenty representations of scenes in Venetian history devoted to the exploits of the two Doges, Sebastiano Ziani (1172-1178) and Enrico Dandolo (1192-1205).
