Verified profile

The painting depicts, through a composition studied in the progressive thinning of the figures upwards, the apparition of the Eternal Father to a large group of plague victims in which, in the foreground, on the right side, San Rocco, who intercedes with favor of the victims of the plague. The Saint, who traveled throughout Europe dedicating himself to the care of the plague victims, is in fact invoked against plagues. Probably the painting is an ex voto made by the patrons, the Effrem, who perhaps fortunately escaped the disease. The painting, an autograph work by the artist, has often been considered a workshop work or the result of the collaboration of Tintoretto with his son Domenico, or with Leonardo Corona, or with Jacopo Palma the younger, due to the qualitative and stylistic differences between the upper and the lower one; the latter, in fact, is chromatically more deaf with respect to the characteristic brightness of Tintoretto, which is well noticeable instead in the upper part. But, thanks to a recent restoration carried out very wisely, it is precisely in the lower register that the exquisiteness of the color emerges with greater clarity. A color sometimes given with contemptuous, energetic brushstrokes that draw the crests of the drapery, in other cases almost “crawled” on the canvas, as if to clean the brush. The date 1595, which has no relation to that of the execution of the painting, may have been affixed in ancient times, probably when the work was taken over by the Chapter of the Cathedral of Bari.
