Description:
|
Formerly in the church of San Rocco. In March 1508 the silk merchant Jacopo di Zuanne was permitted by the Scuola di San Rocco to commission an altarpiece for a small chapel dedicated to the Cross in the church of S Rocco (Anderson, 1977). The work is identifiable with the Christ Carrying the Cross, which must, therefore, date from 1508-1509 (1509 being the recorded date of a dedicatory inscription). It is also frequently attributed to Titian, but the evidence both of the sources and of scientific examination tends to support an attribution to Giorgione.
