The San Cassiano Altarpiece is a renowned work by the Italian Renaissance painter Antonello da Messina, created around 1475-1476. Originally commissioned for the Church of San Cassiano in Venice, the altarpiece is celebrated for its innovative use of oil paint, a technique Antonello is credited with bringing to Italy from the Northern European tradition. This work marks a significant moment in the fusion of Northern and Southern European artistic styles.

The altarpiece was originally a large polyptych, but it was dismantled in the 17th century, and only a few panels survive today. These surviving pieces are housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. The central panel depicts the Virgin Mary enthroned with the Christ Child, surrounded by saints. The figures are rendered with a remarkable attention to detail, showcasing Antonello's mastery of light and texture, which was influenced by the Flemish painters.

Antonello's use of perspective and spatial composition in the San Cassiano Altarpiece was groundbreaking. The figures are arranged in a realistic space, creating a sense of depth that was innovative for its time. This approach had a profound impact on Venetian painting, influencing artists such as Giovanni Bellini.

The altarpiece is also noted for its emotional expressiveness and the serene, contemplative quality of the figures. Antonello's ability to convey human emotion and his meticulous attention to detail are evident in the delicate rendering of the saints' features and the intricate play of light and shadow.

Despite its fragmented state, the San Cassiano Altarpiece remains a significant example of Antonello da Messina's contribution to Renaissance art. It reflects the artist's role in bridging the artistic traditions of Northern and Southern Europe and his influence on the development of Venetian painting.
