The story of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino Reviving the Birds
From a predella (the small narrative panels along the base of a Renaissance altarpiece), this 1530s panel by the Ferrarese painter Benvenuto Tisi, known as Il Garofalo, depicts the miracle in which the Augustinian saint Nicholas of Tolentino restores life to the cooked birds set before him at a sickbed meal. Garofalo synthesised the Roman High Renaissance grandeur he had absorbed in Raphael's circle with the warm Ferrarese colour of his hometown — a small but luminous example of north Italian narrative painting.
Garofalo
Benvenuto Tisi, also known as Il Garofalo (1481–1559), was a Late-Renaissance Mannerist Italian painter of the School of Ferrara. Garofalo trained with the court of the Duke d'Este before working briefly with Raphael in Rome, and his work synthesises the Roman High Renaissance with the colouristic richness of the Ferrarese tradition. He painted altarpieces, mythological scenes, and portraits across northern Italy for nearly half a century.
