Petrobelli altarpiece
The Petrobelli Altarpiece is a painting of c. 1563 by Paolo Veronese, the remaining fragments of which are now divided between four museums.
==History==
The picture is generally assumed to be the altarpiece commissioned by the cousins Girolamo (d. 1569) and Antonio (d. 1587) Petrobelli for the church of San Francis in the small town of Lendinara, near Venice. It is also agreed to be by the leading Venetian painter Paolo Veronese, who had strong ties to the region, although the commission is not documented, nor was the work engraved nor mentioned by contemporary works on art. The date is either 1563, which was mentioned in an inscription on a frieze with the names of the Petrobellis in the church, or if this is ignored and the work is judged only on stylistic grounds, considerably later in the view of most art historians. The cousins had inherited their uncle's large estate and had no legitimate heirs; in the end Petrobello Petrobelli, illegitimate son of Girolamo, inherited the estates of both men. Presumably the cousins hoped that the spectacular work would seal their status as one of the leading families in the town.〔Ottawa, "Commission; Brigstocke, 199〕
Set above the altar in their burial chapel, Veronese’s painting shows donor portraits of the two men protected and presented to Christ by their name saints. The cousins are privileged to witness a miraculous apparition, a foretaste of the future: the archangel Saint Michael, who will weigh the souls of the dead at the Last Judgment. Above, we see the dead Christ, who died to redeem mankind. Veronese offered his patrons a compellingly realistic depiction of a visionary scene, and captured the hope of the faithful Christian for salvation. The angels carry three of the Instruments of the Passion.〔Dulwich; Ottawa, "Iconography", which has much more information.〕
In the 1770s the church was disestablished after the suppression of its order by the Venetian government. In 1785 the church was finally demolished, and by 1789 the altarpiece was with a Venetian art dealer. It was at this stage it was divided, and in 1795 the Dulwich fragment was sold by the London art dealer to his friend Sir Francis Bourgeois, who bequeathed it to Dulwich in 1811.〔Murray, 29〕 The fragments all eventually came to rest in public collections in England (Dulwich Picture Gallery, London), Scotland (National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh), Canada (National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa), and the United States (Blanton Museum of Art, Austin, Texas).〔Dulwich〕
