This work by Titian – as confi rmed
by the signature revealed following
its recent restoration – is an oil
painting on panel dated 1520 and
kept in the chapel of the same
name inside Treviso Cathedral.
Highlighted by an elegant marble
frame, it lacked adequate lighting
to bring out its distinctive features,
such as the faces of the fi gures
depicted, the bright colours of their
robes, the imposing architectural
backdrops and the perspective of
the chequered fl oor.
The concept (which would later
evolve into a lighting project for the
entire chapel and vestibule) was set
into motion by the Treviso Rotary
Club and was implemented by the
Studio Tecnico Ing. Carlo Chiodin,
Arch. Alessandro Chiodin and Linea
Light Group. Two Navata_Optus
projectors with clean and precise
light beams illuminate the painting
and are positioned on top of the
wooden tables bordering the chapel
next to Titian’s masterpiece. The
position of the luminaires and the
intensity of their light beams were
carefully considered to allow the
work to be enjoyed without any risk
of casting shadows or disturbance
from refl ections caused by the
material of the painting.
