CARPACCIO, Vittore
(b. 1472, Venezia, d. 1526, Capodistria)

Glory of St Vitalis

1514
Oil on canvas
San Vidal, Venice

The figures are from Carpaccio's stock repertory and rather lack freshness, but the composition as a whole has a solemn grandeur with the spectacular invention of the bridge over which pass the saints in the upper part of the painting.
