# St Luke [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PORDENONE]() - Date: 1501-1550 - Technique: Oil on panel, 75 x 75 cm ## Commentary Pordenone specialized in depicting powerfully built, often ungainly figures in dramatic movement, and seen foreshortened from below. He found the fullest scope for this specialism in the decoration of ceilings and domes. The panel, showing the Evangelist St Luke with his customary attribute of a bull \(or ox\), was also painted for a Venetian ceiling, namely for the ceiling in the Scuola dii San Francesco ai Frari. The ceiling was dismantled in 1733. ## Related artworks - [Carrying the Cross]() - [Christ and Mary Magdalen]() - [Christ Nailed to the Cross]() - [Decoration of the main dome]() - [God the Father with Angels]() - [Golgotha \(detail\)]() - [Golgotha]() - [Golgotha]() - [Lamentation]() - [Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints]() - [Pilate Judges Christ \(detail\)]() - [Pilate Judges Christ \(detail\)]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
