Miracle of St Dominic
by PADOVANINO, Oil on canvas
The Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary was destroyed by fire in 1867. The restored chapel was reopened only in 1959. It is now decorated with many 16th-17th-century paintings originated from other Venetian churches and collections. Padovanino’s painting belongs to this decoration.
The painting depicts the scene when St Dominic saves sailors calling on them to say the Rosary.
