The polychrome marble altar has housed the painting Sant'Isidoro Agricola, by an unknown artist, since 1773. The holy farmer prays to God while the miracle of the water spring, gushing from the ground, is performed; in the background an angel plows the field, instead of him, to allow him to pray. The central relief takes up the theme of the miracle of Saint Isidore.
