The Miraculous Healing of the Daughter of Benvegnudo of San Polo

Giovanni di Niccolò Mansueti painted this Miraculous Healing scene around 1505 in Venice. Mansueti was a specialist in large narrative paintings documenting Venetian ceremonial life and miracles. His meticulous attention to architectural and costume detail makes his works invaluable documents of Venetian society. The tempera medium required careful preparation on a gessoed panel and a disciplined layering technique that produced precise, durable surfaces suited to the intricate detail expected of devotional painting.

Oil on canvas with Mansueti's characteristically precise architectural rendering and documentary attention to costume and setting. The miracle scene is staged within a recognizable Venetian architectural context.
