The Zadar Polyptych is an oil-on-panel by Italian artist Vittore Carpaccio, painted around 1480-1490. It is now in the Museum of Sacre Art of the Zadar Cathedral, in southern Croatia.

Description

The polyptych includes six panels in two orders; at the center are the scenes of St. Martin and the poor and St. Jerome with the donor.

The figures are painted on a background with rocky hills, with no unitary treatment of the landscape based on geometric perspective but, as in Gentile Bellini's works, with a series of separate blocks.
