San Francesco della Vigna - Venice, Italy
Bragadin Chapel - Marcantonio Bragadin



'St.John the Baptist Surrounded by Saints' was painted by Giuseppe Salviati. The chapel is named after the Bragadin family whose most famous member at the time of Vigna's building was Marcantonio Bragadin. He was flayed alive on Cyprus after surrendering to the Turks. Under terms of his surrender he was to have been allowed to leave the island safely. The men who surrendered with him were also slaughtered.

Born as Giusepe Porta, Giuseppe Salviati apprenticed and worked as a painter in Rome from 1535. He later worked in Florence and Bologna. He arrived in Venice in 1540. He did work for Doge Francesco Dona. He was praised by his contemporary Vasari. He worked for the monastery at Santo Spirito in Isola in Venice. He painted the organ shutters. He made the Valier altarpiece in the Frari church in Venice. He made the 'Deposition' for San Pietro Martire in Murano. He worked on Sansovino's Libreria Marciana in Venice. He made many frescoes including work in the Doges' Palace. As a mathematician he published a treatise on ionic volutes in 1552 in Venice.
