He was the first to date the altarpiece in 1737, a chronology confirmed by the following sources and modern critics.\r\n\r\n<span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-root-19\"><\/span><span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-19\">The painting was<\/span>\u00a0the first of the many fortunate works of\u00a0<strong>Giovanni Battista Pittoni<\/strong>\u00a0for Brescia and its countryside. The last one is the\u00a0<em>Madonna with the Child,<\/em>\u00a0painted in 1754 for the chapel of\u00a0<strong>Palazzo Lechi<\/strong>\u00a0in\u00a0<strong>Montirone<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n<span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-root-20\"><\/span><span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-20\">In the composition,Tte<\/span>\u00a0painter uses the classic scheme of the\u00a0<em>Madonna with the Child<\/em>. He also placed the characters in a circled composition to foster the sight from the point of view of the church\u2019s entry.\r\n\r\n<span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-root-21\"><\/span><span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-21\">On the left<\/span>\u00a0of the throne,\u00a0<em>St. Leonard<\/em>\u00a0bows himself in worship for the\u00a0<strong>Virgin<\/strong>, who aims at him with an amorous glance. At his feet, a little angel with a chirpy face holds the chains of the jailed, which are Leonard\u2019s iconographic symbols.\r\n\r\n<span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-root-22\"><\/span><span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-22\">Opposed to him,<\/span>\u00a0<em>St. Francis of Paola\u00a0<\/em>begs for the\u00a0<strong>Virgin<\/strong>\u2019s protection of the\u00a0<strong>souls of Purgatory<\/strong>\u00a0painted behind him. On the upper part of the canvas, three angels\u2019 faces appear from the clouds in the sky, completing the scene.\r\n\r\n<span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-root-23\"><\/span><span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-23\">The colors are<\/span>\u00a0very bright and typical of Venetian rococo, of which\u00a0<strong>Giovanni Battista Pittoni<\/strong>\u00a0was the main interpreter.\u00a0The glances and gestures of the characters are cleverly composed and measured in a very intimate and sentimental pietism, enriched by the sweetness of materials and fleshes.\r\n\r\n<span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-root-24\"><\/span><span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-24\">Also the souls<\/span>\u00a0of Purgatory are original concepts. They appear in one study for the painting discovered in 1950 by\u00a0<strong>Gaetano Panazza<\/strong>\u00a0inside the collection of\u00a0<strong>Pinacoteca Tosio Martinengo in Brescia<\/strong>. Two other studies are conserved in the\u00a0<strong>Castelvecchio Museum in Verona<\/strong>\u00a0and a private collection in London.\r\n\r\n<span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-root-25\"><\/span><span id=\"speechify-first-word-listening-nudge-25\">At the same<\/span>\u00a0time, the critic\u00a0<strong>Franca Zavi Boccacci<\/strong>\u00a0discovered a single draft of the angel holding the chains in the<strong>\u00a0Gallerie dell\u2019Accademia in Venice.<\/strong>","descrizione_en":"","opera_luogo_associato":"","tipo_card_opera":"standard","opera_hide_events":false,"opera_events_list":"","opera_hide_card_list":false,"opera_post_card_list":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
