Discover one of Tintoretto's most famous works, The Stealing of the Dead Body of St Mark, a masterpiece that showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing movement and emotion.

Background

St. Mark spent most of his life in Alexandria, Egypt. His body was brought to Venice eight centuries after his death in AD 68. Venice's ruling class wanted St. Mark as the patron saint for their economic status, so they arranged to smuggle his body from Egypt.

The Painting

The Stealing of the Dead Body of St Mark is a painting by Tintoretto that depicts the translatio, or transfer of St. Mark's body to Venice. The painting is notable for its striking, deep perspective background lines and the use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of drama.

The colors are darker in the near subjects, while the figures in the distance are lighter, creating a sense of depth and space. Tintoretto's masterful use of light and shadow adds to the emotional impact of the painting, making it a true masterpiece of Venetian art.

The Artist

Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594) was an Italian painter and printmaker from Venice. He is known for his dramatic use of perspective, color, and complex compositions. His work had a significant influence on the development of Baroque painting.

Where to See the Painting

The Stealing of the Dead Body of St Mark is currently housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. This museum is home to an impressive collection of Venetian art from the 14th to the 18th century.
