This wooden altar frontal is on the wall of the Sala Superiore in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Venice. At sides of an extraordinary Library - alone sufficient to demonstrate the artistic stature of Pianta, such is the skilful realistic illusion of those antique bound volumes - are the blindfold and chained Fury with gnashing teeth, and the Spy, almost a caricature, enveloped in his ample cloak and with his hat pulled down and partly covering his eyes.
