PADOVANINO
(b. 1588, Padova, d. 1649, Venezia)

The Madonna with Design of a Shrine

c. 1630
Oil on canvas
Santa Maria della Salute, Venice

This painting is in the sacristy of the Santa Maria della Salute. It was on the high altar of the church until 1670. The temple depicted in it is probably the model presented by Padovanino in the competition with Longhena and others in 1630 for erecting the Salute. The model was not approved.
