The story of Saint Nicholas of Tolentino Reviving a Child
The companion predella panel to Garofalo's Reviving the Birds, depicting the saint's most famous miracle — restoring life to a child laid out for burial as the parents weep at the bedside. A small intimate scene in the Ferrarese-Renaissance idiom, with the polished surfaces and warm-toned drapery that made Garofalo one of Ferrara's most sought-after altarpiece painters in the first half of the 16th century.
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.
