Grandiose on the artistic and canonical scale of the late 15th century, the painting by Wittore Carpaccio “The Miracle of the Relic of the Holy Cross.” The size of the painting is 365 x 389 cm, canvas, oil. The customer of the monumental painting was the school of St. John the Evangelist, one of the Venetian religious brotherhoods.
Vittore Carpaccio, along with Gentile Bellini and other Venetian painters, was involved in creating a series of paintings and paintings “The History of the Relic” in the Doge’s Palace, glorifying the Venetian Republic.
The artist Carpaccio, apparently, was very fond of his city, so he painted many paintings with Venetian views, for example, as the above picture “Miracle of the relics of the Holy Cross”, in which the painter painted a magnificent panorama of his native city.
