Summary

Description
Britain Loves Wikipedia at the [ Victoria and Albert Museum]
Virgin of the Misericordia
English: Moved and altered 1612 and 1828-40

Istrian stone with traces of paint

A Venetian \'scuola\', or confraternity commissioned this sculpture to sit over the entrance to their meeting house. Members of the confraternity shelter under the Virgin\'s cloak. Surrounding the Virgin are prophets seated in the Tree of Jesse. They hold scrolls announcing the Coming of Christ, who is shown as a baby on the Virgin\'s breast. The pointed arch reflects the Gothic style of the original setting. Bartolomeo Bon was a member of the confraternity and one of the most important sculptors in Renaissance Venice.
