Francesco Vecellio, Saint Antonio Searches with Great Interest for the Heart in the Coffin

Francesco Vecellio (c. 1485 - 1560) was a Venetian painter of the early Renaissance, best known as the elder brother of the painter Titian. In his youth, he was a soldier. As a painter, he was mainly active in 1520-1530s in Cadore. In 1524, he signed an altarpiece for San Vito in Cadore. In 1540s, he painted a polyptych at Candide. In late 1540s he painted the organ shutters of San Salvatore in Venice. He painted an Annunciation for San Nicola di Bari, now in Accademia.
