Date
1505-6
Technique
Oil on panel
Dimension
330x216 cm
Location
Pinacoteca di Brera, Milano
Description
The painting, commissioned by spice merchant Benedetto Carlone for the chapel of San Pietro Martire in the Venetian church of the Corpus Domini, where he wished to be buried; it came to Brera due to the Napoleonic requisitions. It constitutes one of the artist’s most perfect and balanced works. The presence of St. Peter is explained by the dedication of the chapel, while Benedict appears here as the patron saint of Benedetto Carlone.
The Dominican martyr Peter of Verona, who was murdered by a blow to the head with a scythe, stands on a tall pedestal which dominates the countryside and sets the saints in the real world. A shepherd plays to his dog, a knight advances preceded by his squire, and two people converse beside a church, a village and, on a higher plane, a walled city. The symmetrical composition is also balanced in terms of its palette, testifying to Cima’s interest in Giorgione’s new approach to the handling of colour.

Description
This AI-generated painting, inspired by the original "Saint Peter Martyr with Saints Nicholas and Benedict," presents a vastly different scene. The triangular composition is maintained, but now an ice cream cart occupies the central position, surrounded by people enjoying a sunny day at the beach, eager for a refreshing treat. The arrangement of elements draws attention to the central figure, emphasizing its importance in the scene. The pastoral landscape has been transformed into a seaside setting. The colors remain vibrant, with high contrast created by the darker figures against the colorful ice cream, enhancing the overall visual impact.
