Madonna Enthroned with Saints

Sebastiano Ricci

Church of San Giorgio Maggiore

DESCRIZIONE:
The painting, in the chapel to the right of the presbytery, is one of the most beautiful works of Sebastiano Ricci. Greatly appreciated by contemporaries, it represents a key phase in the development of his work towards the Rococo with the powerful figure of Saint Peter speaking with Saint Gerard, owner of the altar, in contrast to the lightness of the figures of the Virgin and the Angels.
