"The Miracle of the Relic of the True Cross on the Rialto Bridge (detail)" is a renowned painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittore Carpaccio, created around 1496. This artwork is part of a larger series of nine canvases commissioned to decorate the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice, a confraternity devoted to the cult of the True Cross. The series was intended to depict the miraculous powers and events associated with a fragment of the True Cross, which the confraternity possessed.

Carpaccio's painting captures a dramatic moment in Venetian lore when a miracle occurred on the Rialto Bridge, one of the most significant bridges spanning the Grand Canal in Venice. According to the legend, a procession carrying the relic of the True Cross across the bridge led to the healing of a man who had fallen into the canal and was presumed drowned. The painting vividly portrays the crowd's astonishment and the fervent religious devotion of the Venetians, set against the backdrop of the bustling commercial heart of the city.

Measuring 365 x 389 cm, the original work is a large-scale oil on canvas that showcases Carpaccio's mastery of narrative detail and his ability to capture the essence of Venetian society and architecture during the Renaissance. The artist's use of color, light, and perspective brings the scene to life, with the Rialto Bridge and the surrounding buildings rendered in meticulous detail. Carpaccio's work is celebrated for its historical value, providing insight into the urban landscape of Venice at the turn of the 16th century, as well as its artistic merit, exemplifying the Venetian School's rich tradition of narrative painting.

Today, "The Miracle of the Relic of the True Cross on the Rialto Bridge (detail)" is housed in the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic beauty. The painting remains an important example of Carpaccio's oeuvre and a testament to the enduring legacy of Venetian art and culture.
