The altarpiece is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of sailors and merchants, reflecting the interests of the patron's mercantile family.

Gentile da Fabriano, renowned for his contributions to the International Gothic style, infused this work with the ornate and elegant aesthetic characteristic of the period. The scene depicted in the painting captures a dramatic moment from the life of St. Nicholas, as he intervenes to calm a tempest and save the crew of a ship. This narrative, emphasizing the miraculous powers of the saint, was a popular subject in religious art and served to inspire devotion among the faithful.
