This church, also called the Frari, is practically an honorary basilica. The Franciscans built in Italian Gothic style. It’s big, made of brick, and dedicated to the Assumption. It was completed in the 14th century. Despite it’s reputation, it’s rather plain to look at from the outside, though still imposing. It’s tower is the second highest in the city. Crypts, statues, and paintings breathe life into the interior of the church, and Titian’s ‘Assumption’ is dramatic. There are lovely frescoes on the wall. Some old celebrities are buried here; Antonio Canova’s heart for one, Claudio Monteverdi, a few Doges etc. Notable works of art were done by:
- Giovanni Bellini
- Bartolomeo Bon
- Antonio and Paolo Bregno, Lorenzo Bregno tomb of Benedetto Pesaro above the sacristy door; tomb of Alvise Pasqualino on the west wall.
- Titian Assumption - The largest altarpiece in Venice.
- Pesaro Madonna
- The expressions of the figurines here are said to be creepily lifelike. Also note the only rood screen in Venice.
