Mary with the Child, Venerated by Two Evangelists

This altarpiece dating from c. 1570/75 was painted by Tintoretto alone, without assistance from his studio. The depiction of Mary with a crown of stars above the sickle moon as the Woman of the Apocalypse and Immaculata, appearing to the Evangelists as if in a vision, is typical of Counter-Reformation veneration of Mary.
這個祭壇可以追溯到 c.1570/75 是由丁托列托獨自繪製的，沒有得到他工作室的幫助。瑪麗在鐮刀月亮上方的星冠上被描繪成天啟和無染原罪的女人，在福音傳道者面前彷彿出現在異像中，是典型的反宗教改革對瑪麗的崇拜。

Artist information: Tintoretto was an Italian artist and remarkable representative of the Venetian Renaissance school. He was a pupil of Titian—even if not for a long period—whose colorism had a profound influence on his work. His manner did not, however, purely confine itself to Titian's but also drew from Michelangelo. Tintoretto felt very connected to Venice and created various artworks in Saint Mark's Basilica. In 1548 he was commissioned to create four pictures in the Scuola Grande di San Marco. Another enormous task he completed was the decoration of the walls and ceilings of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco. Around 1560 he began several paintings for the Doge's Palace, one of these, Paradise, is considered the world's biggest painting on canvas. He stands as a precursor of the Baroque due to his use of special effects of light and perspective to create dynamism. He was fascinated by lights and their impact on his compositions which explains why some subjects appear in several works, illuminated differently each time.
