About the Book

This study examines the development of the altarpiece in sixteenth-century Venice. Focusing closely on Titian's St Peter Martyr Altarpiece, which was the most famous work by this painter and which was destroyed in 1867, Patricia Meilman considers how this painting irrevocably changed the course of altar decoration. Demonstrating the legacy of the St Peter Martyr Altarpiece with a younger generation of painters, which continued well into the seventeenth century, she also examines the social, religious and historical events of the decades just before the Tridentine reforms and their impact on devotional imagery and practices.

Review :
"An extremely useful teaching tool for upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty." Choice "A study that places this one work in its cultural and historial context, and in doing so offers the reader an opening into the understanding of altarpieces as more than 'just' religious pictures." Art Book "Patricia Meilman's book, Titian and the Altarpiece in Renaissance Venice is a monograph on this appalling loss from the corpus of European painting. As one might expect from a revised dissertation, the apparatus occupies almost half the book's 260 pages and offers material not available elsewhere." - The Catholic Historical Review William Hood, Oberlin College
