Storm at Sea or Saints Mark, George and Nicholas Freeing Venice from Demons is a c. 1528 oil on canvas painting by Palma Vecchio, now in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice. [1] It was partly completed in 1535 by Paris Bordon after Palma's death.
It was commissioned for the sala dell'Albergo in the scuola Grande di San Marco, forming part of a cycle of paintings on the life of Saint Mark, Venice's patron saint, commissioned by the rectors of the congregation from various artists. [2]
It was initially commissioned from Giovanni Mansueti, but it was transferred to Palma after Mansueti's death in 1527 - Palma was a member of the scuola from 1513 to 1528. Giorgio Vasari misattributed it to Giorgione, [1] but later attributed it to Palma, though he probably left it unfinished on his death, with Bordon painting the boat. [3]
Vittore Carpaccio was an Italian painter of the Venetian school, who studied under Gentile Bellini. He is best known for a cycle of nine paintings, The Legend of Saint Ursula. His style was somewhat conservative, showing little influence from the Humanist trends that transformed Italian Renaissance painting during his lifetime. He was influenced by the style of Antonello da Messina and Early Netherlandish art. For this reason, and also because so much of his best work remains in Venice, his art has been rather neglected by comparison with other Venetian contemporaries, such as Giovanni Bellini or Giorgione.
The Gallerie dell'Accademia is a museum gallery of pre-19th-century art in Venice, northern Italy. It is housed in the Scuola della Carità on the south bank of the Grand Canal, within the sestiere of Dorsoduro. It was originally the gallery of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, the art academy of Venice, from which it became independent in 1879, and for which the Ponte dell'Accademia and the Accademia boat landing station for the vaporetto water bus are named. The two institutions remained in the same building until 2004, when the art school moved to the Ospedale degli Incurabili.

Francesco Albotto (1721–1757) was an Italian painter from Venice, mainly producing vedute. He was a pupil of Michele Marieschi. After Marieschi's death, Albotto married his widow and took over his shop, and continued to produce paintings in a similar style until his own death, which has led to some problems in attributing paintings to Marieschi versus Albotto.
Palma Vecchio, born Jacopo Palma and also known as Jacopo Negretti, was a Venetian painter of the Italian High Renaissance. He is called Palma Vecchio in English to distinguish him from Palma il Giovane, his great-nephew, who was also a painter.
