ca. 1575 \u2013 oil on canvas, cm 240 x 245<\/em><\/p>\n

This splendid painting adorning the high altar of the church of Santa Maria dei Derelitti (commonly known as the church dell\u2019Ospedaletto) is by Paduan painter Damiano Mazza, Titian\u2019s favourite pupil \u2013 a promising artist who died at only twenty-six years of age during the 1576 plague that killed Titian too.<\/p>\n

Unlike the established iconography, in this altarpiece the monumental figures of Christ and the Holy Father crowning the Virgin \u2013 in a rendition that is manifestly reminiscent of Titian \u2013 are no longer hieratically set against a golden background but are endowed with a more \u201chuman\u201d nature radiating from the figures\u2019 serene composure.<\/p>\n

The description of the details and the colour palette are extremely refined as can be noted in the Holy Father\u2019s left hand resting on the crystal globe and the shimmering weave of the cope draped on his shoulders. The painter\u2019s mastery is also manifest in his rendition of the precious stones set in the crown about to be placed on the Virgin\u2019s head and in the glory of angels whose outline seem to dissolve into the ethereal heavenly light.<\/p>\n
