This relic, which survives in the Scuola di San Giovanni Evangelista in Venice, had been given to the family in the fourteenth century and became an object of special devotion to them. The principal figure, who stretches out a hand to indicate his seven sons, is Andrea Vendramin (died 1547). His brother Gabriel Vendramin (died 1552) kneels before the altar.
The death of Andrea Vendramin in 1547 makes it likely that the picture was painted before that date and it is usually placed in the years 1543-7.
There was a tradition in Venice of large-scale family portraiture in religious pictures made for a domestic setting. NG 4452 was made for the Vendramin Palace and fits into this tradition, although unusually it shows the family gathered in front of a reliquary rather than in front of an image of the Virgin and Child. The head of the youngest bearded figure was originally painted towards the left edge of the painting and this first version is now visible through the paint of the sky.
Inventory of Gabriel Vendramin, Venice, 1569; bought after 1636 by Van Dyck, and subsequently acquired by the Earl of Northumberlan. It remained in the Northumberland Family until bought with a special grant and contributions from Samuel Courtauld, Sir Joseph Duveen, the NACF and the Phillips Fund, 1929.
