            Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti 1519 - 1594) - theft of the body of St. Mark (1562-1566) oil on canvas 397 x 315 cm - Galleria dell'Accademia - Venice

Si tratta in realtà del momento in cui i fedeli dell’evangelista salvano il suo corpo prima che venga dato alle fiamme, grazie all’improvvisa grandinata miracolosa che fa fuggire i persecutori. In effetti, nel cielo rossastro si addensano nubi minacciose e rapide pennellate descrivono fulmini e grandine. Di grande effetto scenografico è la soluzione prospettica fortemente scorciata che descrive uno spiazzo molto ampio, forse ispirato a Piazza San Marco, dove le architetture del portico, sotto il quale si rifugiano gli aguzzini e gli astanti, ricordano quelle di Sansovino.

Thick overpainting had hidden the pyre in the background with an extension of the arcade structure, adding to the confusion over the subject matter, which is sometimes described as “the abduction of the body of Saint Mark”. In fact, it recounts the moment when the Evangelist’s disciples save his body from being burned, thanks to a sudden miraculous hailstorm which sends his persecutors fleeing. The roiling red sky is heavy with stormclouds and the artist suggests flashes of lightning with swift brushstrokes. Foreshortening is used to magnificent effect to depict a large square, resembling Piazza San Marco, where the arcades, with the onlookers and persecutors taking shelter, bear a striking resemblance to those of Sansovino.
