Fury by Pianta, Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Venice, Italy

Fury, a blindfolded shackled man, an allegorical walnut wood sculpture by Francesco Pianta, 1657-76, in the Sala Capitolare or Chapter Room, in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, a lay confraternity founded in 1478, based on the cult of St Roch, in San Polo in Venice, Italy. The series is moralising in tone, with vices and virtues, and representations of the arts. The sculptures are dossali, originally intended for the rear of an altar. Picture by Manuel Cohen
