Frari

Chiesa Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari is fronted by a deceptively plain red brick facade. Upon entering, one is swept up by the vast open arches of the gothic interior. Warm and spiritually uplifiting in the sunlight, now at twilight unnaturally long shadows draw the focus to the intricate woodwork of the choir, and away from the well-known paintings and sculpture which attract the daylight visitors, away from the lofty reaches of the nave, reminding one that the great art commemorates the final resting places of doges and artists long departed.
