# Virgin Being Worshipped by Members of the Cavalli Family [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [ALTICHIERO da Zevio]() - Date: 1351-1400 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary Virgin Being Worshipped by Members of the Cavalli Family c. 1370 Fresco Cavalli Chapel, Sant'Anastasia, Verona Before his stay in Padua, the Veronese painter Altichiero painted frescoes in Verona, including the votive fresco of the Cavalli family in Sant'Anastasia. Partially ruined by the insertion of a canopied tomb in about 1390, the fresco is the collective votive offering of the Cavalli family from Verona. The men of the family, in armor, are before the Virgin. The family's patron saints accompany the faithful and their nonchalant movements contrast wonderfully with the stiff votive posture of the kneeling knights. The setting is also splendid, showing an imaginary fourteenth-century palace complete with galleries and pavilions. ## Related artworks - [Adoration of the Magi \(detail\)]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Crucifixion \(detail\)]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Crucifixion]() - [Façade of the Oratory]() - [King Ramiro Summons the Crown Council]() - [Scenes from the Life of St James]() - [Scenes on the entry wall]() - [St George Baptizes the King and His Family \(detail\)]() - [St George Slays the Dragon]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
