Description: | The informal gathering of saints in a landscape, developed from Giovanni Bellini's Sacra conversazione-painting type, is typical of Paris Bordone, a Venetian painter born in Treviso. The patron saint of the town is Saint Liberale, who was painted in armour on the altar panel of the cathedral of Treviso. It is possible, therefore, that the saint on the right of this picture is indeed Liberale. On the other hand, if the commissioner of the painting was Venetian it is more probable that he is Saint George, who is also generally represented in armour and who was venerated in the lagoon. | Subjects: | Mary Magdalene figure; religion (Virgin and Child St Liberale or St George[?]) St John the Baptist | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Bordone, Paris (Italian painter, 1500-1571) Æ Previously attributed to Giorgione (Italian artist, 1477-1510) Previously attributed to Palma, Jacopo, il vecchio (Italian painter, ca. 1479-1528) Previously attributed to Pitati, Bonifazio de` (Italian painter, 1487-1553) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8809... | Go to resource |
