Description:
|
|
Located in the apse of the Presbytery, behind the high altar. The picture is composed of three orders. At the bottom are the Apostles (humanity), amazed and stunned by the wondrous happening. St. Peter is kneeling with his hand on his breast, St. Thomas is pointing at the Virgin, and St. Andrew in a red cloak is stretching forward. In the middle, the Madonna, bathed in light, is surrounded by by a host of angels. Above is the God the Father, calling the Virgin to him. The gigantic height of the altarpiece, and its dynamic spiral composition were unprecedented in Venice; and Titian’s pre-eminence among Venetian painters can be traced to the impact of this work. Titian was probably influenced by a meeting with Fra Bartolommeo, in turn having been inspired by seeing the work of Michelangelo and Raphael.
