Storm at Sea or Saints Mark, George and Nicholas Freeing Venice from Demons is a c. 1528 oil on canvas painting by Palma Vecchio, now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice.[1] It was partly completed in 1535 by Paris Bordon after Palma's death.
History
It was commissioned for the sala dell'Albergo in the scuola Grande di San Marco, forming part of a cycle of paintings on the life of Saint Mark, Venice's patron saint, commissioned by the rectors of the congregation from various artists.[2]
Detail
It was initially commissioned from Giovanni Mansueti, but it was transferred to Palma after Mansueti's death in 1527 - Palma was a member of the scuola from 1513 to 1528. Giorgio Vasari misattributed it to Giorgione,[1] but later attributed it to Palma, though he probably left it unfinished on his death, with Bordon painting the boat.[3]
