"This study examines the development of the altarpiece in sixteenth-century Venice. Focusing closely on Titian's St. Peter Martyr Altarpiece, which was the most famous work by this painter, destroyed in 1867, Meilman considers how this painting irrevocably changed the course of altar decoration.She also examines the social, religious and historical events of the decades just before the Tridentine reforms and their impact on devotional imagery and practices." |
