Oratorio del Rosario di San Domenico, Baroque oratory in Palermo, Italy
The oratory features elaborate stucco decorations throughout its interior, with detailed religious figures and symbols adorning the walls and ceiling surfaces.
Construction of the oratory began in 1578 under the direction of P. Marinao Lo Vecchio, following the establishment of the Compagnia di S. Maria del Rosario.
The main altarpiece by Anthony van Dyck depicts the Madonna of the Rosary surrounded by eight saints, including Dominic and Catherine of Siena.
The oratory remains open to visitors who can view the extensive collection of paintings by artists including Matthias Stom, Pietro Novelli, and Luca Giordano.
Giacomo Serpotta incorporated a small lizard signature into his stucco work, marking his artistic contribution to this religious space between 1710 and 1717.
