Visit the XIV-century church of the Frari and the nearby XVI-century Scuola Grande di San Rocco, two of the major buildings in Venice decorated by master painters. At Frari you’ll visit the magnificent gothic church and have the opportunity to see its treasures of art: paintings by Paolo Veneziano, Bellini, and Titian; sculptures by Donatello and Sansovino; funerary monuments to the most important Venetian families of the past. Scuola Grande di San Rocco was founded to aid plague victims and is dedicated to Saint Roch, protector against the plague. The Scuola is decorated by a cycle of paintings from Tintoretto, who created strikingly dramatic, large-scale narrative paintings, the unique cycle of which is as important to Venice as Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel is to Rome.
