		A huge, gloomy Gothic barn, the brick house of God known officially as Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari may not be the most elegant church in Venice, but it is certainly one of the city's most significant artistic storehouses after the Accademia and the Scuola di San Rocco.
		The church is 98m long, 48m wide at the transept and 28m high - just slightly smaller than San Giovanni e Paolo - and has the second highest campanile in the city.
		And while the Frari may not have as many dead Doges as its Dominican rival, it undoubtedly has the artistic edge.

		PRELUDE Venice, with her life and glory but a memory, is still the _citta nobilissima_,--a city of moods,--all beautiful to the beauty-lover, all mystic to the dreamer; between the wonderful blue of the water and the sky she floats like a mirage--visionary--unreal--and under the spell of her fascination we are not critics, but lovers.
		The church was ancient enough to be a treasure-house for the historian, and it had been restored, with much magnificence, less than a century before,--which was modern for Venice,--while innumerable gifts had brought its treasures down to the days of Titian and Tintoret.
		The contest would be between the Frari and the Servi; there was a new brother who had just entered their order,--and very learned, it was said,--but the name was not known.

		The Frari is a gothic church, high and bare, its glory a tall, semicircular network of arched windows that turns its south-west wall into a broken dazzle of sunlight.
		The Frari altarpiece is Venice's answer to Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel; and yet it's nothing like as touristed because Titian doesn't have the charisma of Michelangelo, his Florentine contemporary.
		It is the erotic pendant to Titian's Frari altarpiece; just as he creates his own blazing sun in the Frari, here he makes flesh and gold merge in an uncanny, inexplicable bit of magic - a painting that is at once sensual and mystical, or rather, that is mystical about the senses.

	I Frari, Venice
		They were given an empty piece of land in San Polo on which they built a small church, which became known by Venetians as Santa Maria dei Frari - the church of the Friars (Minor).
		By 1250 a new and bigger church had been built, but it too proved too small, and around 1330 work started on the magnificent basilica which is still there today.
		Despite this, the church is still full of soaring spaciousness and light - in stark contrast for example to the truncated nature of many English cathedrals.
