Pulling JSON subarray items into a template in Backbone - json

Question

a question fron a total Backbone newbie:
I want to pull items from a JSON subarray and place them in a specific spot on my template. I'm not sure how to target those specific items.
The subarray is represented in the code below: it's the two arrays named images:
(function () {
//JSON object containing gallery content
var galleries = [
{ name: 'Renovations', images: [
'../img/Galleries/01/pic01.jpg',
'../img/Galleries/01/pic02.jpg'
]
},
{ name: 'Kitchens', images: [
'../img/Galleries/01/pic03.jpg',
'../img/Galleries/01/pic04.jpg'
]
}
];
//Gallery Class...this is a Backbone Model
var Gallery = Backbone.Model.extend({
initialize: function(){
console.log('this gallery is up and running');
}
});
//A collection...also a class & the 'C' in MVC in this case
var SingleGallery = Backbone.Collection.extend({
model: Gallery,
parse: function(response){
return response.items;
console.log(response.items);
}
});
//A view...also a class
var GalleryGroup = Backbone.View.extend({
tagName: 'article',
className: 'contact-container',
template: $('#galleryTemplate').html(),
render: function () {
var tmpl = _.template(this.template);
this.$el.html(tmpl(this.model.toJSON()));
return this;
}
});
//Another view...also a class
var GalleryView = Backbone.View.extend({
el: document.getElementById('container'),
initialize: function () {
this.collection = new SingleGallery(galleries);
this.render();
},
render: function () {
var that = this;
_.each(this.collection.models, function (item) {
that.renderGallery(item);
}, this);
},
renderGallery: function (item) {
var galleryView = new GalleryGroup({
model: item
});
this.$el.append(galleryView.render().el);
}
});
var gal1 = new GalleryView();
} ());
My template looks like this so far:
<script id="galleryTemplate" type="text/template">
<p><h1><%= name %></h1>
<div><img src='<%= images %>' /></div></p>
</script>
If I only had one image to load into <%= images %> section, this would be easy, but I would like to construct a well-formatted JSON object and be able to find each individual item in the two 'images' arrays. I want to think that fetch() is the way to go but I'm not sure...any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You could use underscore's each method to iterate over the images array along these lines:
<% _.each(images, function (image) { %>
<div><img src='<%= image %>' /></div>
<% }); %>
