Venetian School
The Clemency of the Emperor Trajan

Chiesa San Vidal, Venice, Italy

The painting presents the moment when Trajan replies to the woman seeking justice that he needs to leave immediately on a military campaign (as suggested by the horse and tent on the left).

Chiesa San Vidal is actually a concert venue, but it still goes by its the name it bore when an active church.
