Altarpiece by Carpaccio

The remarkable San Vidal on Horseback altarpiece (1514) portrays Saint Vitalis, a 1st-century Christian martyr. According to legend, he was a wealthy citizen of Milan who was tortured on the rack and buried alive in a pit in Ravenna — where he is now venerated as the city's patron saint.
