The artwork is notable for its attention to the details of Venetian ceremonial dress and architecture, as well as its portrayal of the city's social hierarchy. The fisherman's humble appearance contrasts with the opulence of the Doge and his court, emphasizing the theme of divine intervention in the affairs of men.
