Ante dell'organo del Duomo vecchio

The organ shutters of the Old Cathedral of Brescia from around 1531 represent a major decorative commission for Moretto. Organ shutters were important commissions in Italian churches, requiring large-scale figures visible from a distance. These organ shutters from the Old Cathedral of Brescia represent Moretto's contribution to a major civic and religious monument, their large scale demanding the compositional ambition he brought to his most important altarpieces.

The large-scale figures are rendered for visibility at a distance while maintaining Moretto's refined technique. His silvery palette and bold figure treatment suit the architectural setting.
