LITHO ?…The Polyptych of Saint Barbara (Italian: Polittico di Santa Barbara) was painted by Palma Vecchio in the early 1520s as the altarpiece for the Venetian church of Santa Maria Formosa. It is a composition of six panels, with Saint Barbara in the centre, under the dead Christ, and to the right and left Saints Dominic (or Vincent Ferrer), Sebastian, John the Baptist and Anthony the Abbot. The central panel of Saint Barbara is considered by many to be one of Palma's greatest achievements.
