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

Miracle of St Dominic

-
Oil on canvas
Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, Venice

The Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary was destroyed by fire in 1867. The restored chapel was reopened only in 1959. It is now decorated with many 16th-17th-century paintings originated from other Venetian churches and collections. Padovanino's painting belongs to this decoration.

The painting depicts the scene when St Dominic saves sailors calling on them to say the Rosary.
