''Miracle of the Slave'' (Italian: ''Miracolo dello schiavo''), also known as ''The Miracle of St. Mark'', is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Jacopo Tintoretto, completed in 1548. It is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, Italy. This work is significant as it marks a pivotal moment in Tintoretto's career, showcasing his dynamic composition, dramatic use of light, and powerful storytelling through art.

The painting measures 416 cm × 544 cm and is a large-scale depiction of a miracle performed by St. Mark, the patron saint of Venice. The narrative is drawn from the ''Golden Legend'', a collection of hagiographies by Jacobus de Voragine that was widely popular during the Renaissance. According to the legend, a Christian slave was condemned to torture for venerating the relics of St. Mark. However, when his master attempted to have him punished by having his legs crushed, the saint intervened, breaking the instruments of torture and freeing the slave from his bonds.

Tintoretto's work is renowned for its vigorous movement and the dramatic contrast of light and shadow, known as chiaroscuro, which would become a hallmark of his style and influence the development of Baroque painting. The artist's use of perspective and foreshortening draws the viewer's eye to the central figure of the slave, while the surrounding figures, including St. Mark descending from above, contribute to the scene's emotional intensity.

''Miracle of the Slave'' is considered one of Tintoretto's masterpieces and is a prime example of the Venetian school's colorito technique, which emphasizes bold color and brushwork over the disegno (drawing) favored by Florentine artists. The painting's dynamic composition, combined with its rich color palette and dramatic lighting, exemplifies Tintoretto's innovative approach to religious subject matter and his ability to convey complex narratives with visual impact.

The work was commissioned by the Scuola Grande di San Marco, a confraternity in Venice, as part of a series of paintings celebrating the life of their patron saint. ''Miracle of the Slave'' not only reflects the religious fervor of the time but also serves as a testament to the Republic of Venice's pride in its patron saint and its status as a powerful maritime republic.
