Madonna and Child with Souls in Purgatory
Church of San Pietro di Castello
The painting is housed in the chapel built by Baldassare Longhena for Cardinal Vendramin and dedicated to the Virgin of Mount Carmel. The splendid altarpiece actually depicts Mary holds out the scapular of Mount Carmel, which symbolises her power of intercession among the souls in Purgatory. The work was stolen in 1994 but was rediscovered a few months later.
