The Vision of Saint Nicholas (Tintoretto)

The Vision of Saint Nicholas is a c.1582 painting by the Italian artist Tintoretto. It is now in Novo Mesto Cathedral in Slovenia. Giovanni VI Grimani, patriarch of Aquileia and provost Polidoro de Montagnana acquired it to stand on the new high altarpiece in the cathedral, built after it was severely damaged by fire in 1576.

It shows the city's patron saint saint Nicholas with St Mohor and his deacon St Fortunatus, both martyred at Aquileia in 305.
