Tomb of Zaccaria and Saint Athanasius 1605

This altarpiece, "Tomb of Zaccaria and Saint Athanasius," was created in 1605 by the Venetian painter Palma il Giovane. It features a central altarpiece depicting Saint Athanasius and a host of angels above the tomb of Zaccaria, a Doge of Venice. The altarpiece is framed in a decorative marble structure complete with decorative sculpted angels flanking the tomb. The artwork is an excellent example of the High Renaissance style that dominated the Italian artistic scene in the 16th and 17th centuries.
