1510, Titian (Tiziano Vecellio), Virgin and Child between St. Anthony of Padua and St. Roch -- Gallerie dell'Accademia (Venice)
From the museum label: An early masterpiece by Titian, datable just before the Padua frescoes documented between 1510 and 1511, the small altarpiece is Giorgionesque in the dreamy attitudes of the protagonists and in the atmospheric setting. The colour unfolds in wide, vibrant backgrounds. The presence of St Roch confirms that the work is an ex voto against the plague, which was raging at the time.
