About Camerlenghi Madonna (Madonna of the Treasurers)

The artwork titled “Camerlenghi Madonna (Madonna of the Treasurers)” is a religious painting created by the artist Tintoretto around the year 1567. This oil on canvas masterpiece belongs to the Mannerism (Late Renaissance) art movement and is characterized by its substantial dimensions of 221 x 521 cm.

The artwork portrays a deeply religious scene featuring the Madonna and Child, surrounded by treasurers in rich attire. The Madonna, robed in vibrant red garments, tenderly holds the Child, evoking a sense of divine serenity and maternal affection. The treasurers, shown in lush, elaborately detailed robes, present a contrast of earthly grandeur against the solemn purity of the holy figures. The setting includes classical architectural elements and a dark, dramatic sky that accentuates the painting’s profound emotional intensity. The composition is a testament to Tintoretto’s mastery in conveying both human and divine presence, symbolism, and the dramatic use of light and shadow typical of the Mannerism movement.
