Saint Thecla Praying for the Plague-Stricken 1758-59 Giovanni Battista Tiepolo Italian This oil sketch is for one of Tiepolo's greatest religious works, the monumental altarpiece in the apse of the cathedral at Este, near Padua. Commissioned in 1758 and installed on Christmas Day, 1759, the picture commemorated the devastating plague of 1630 with the citizens of Este praying for the intercession of Saint Thecla. The first-century saint is shown among the victims; the town is depicted in the background. The figure at right covering his mouth against the stench and about to remove the mothers body is based on precedents by Raphael and Poussin, but Tiepolo departs from them in his suggestion of a man of African descent. The dangerous task of handling plague-stricken bodies was often forced on freed or enslaved African and Turkish men; Tiepolo chose against including this figure in his final composition..

The Mass of Saint Basil 1746 Pierre Hubert Subleyras French This is Subleyrass highly finished proposal, or modello, for his most important commission: a design translated into an enormous mosaic altarpiece for Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome. Subleyras depicts Saint Basil the Great (ca. 330-379) celebrating Mass in the presence of the Emperor Valens (328-378). The artists exceptional ability to depict the color white in all its tonal range is evident in the robes of the priests who surround Basil as he receives wine for Communion. The young emperor, picked out by a bright red cape, swoons dramatically in response to what he witnesses. This painting was listed in Subleyrass posthumous inventory and retains its original frame..
