		Map oriented to north with Frari in the middle.
		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.
		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.
		Confraternities of every order were arriving in stately processions, their banners borne before them by gondoliers gaudy and awkward in sleazy white tunics, with brilliant cotton sashes--habiliments which possessed a singular power of relieving these sun-browned sons of the lagoon of every vestige of their native grace.
		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.

	Santa Maria dei Frari - Pesaro Altarpiece - Save Venice
		Titian, defying the long-standing tradition of placing the most important person in the center of the work, created an illusion of great depth by setting the Virgin and Child off axis.
		The Pesaros were among the principal families in the Frari district and major supporters of the church.
		Jacopo Pesaro is shown on the left, kneeling in front of a man wearing armor who holds a banner bearing the Borgia and Pesaro arms (Alexander VI, Giovanni Borgia, was Pope at the time of this victory).

	Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (Church of the Frari) \| Museum/Attraction Review \| Venice \| Frommers.com
		Known simply as "i Frari," this immense 13th- to 14th-century Gothic church is easily found around the corner from the Scuola Grande di San Rocco -- make sure you visit both when you're in this area.
		Built by the Franciscans (frari is a dialectal distortion of "frati," or brothers), it is the largest church in Venice after the Basilica of San Marco.
		The Frari has long been considered something of a memorial to the ancient glories of Venice.

		This immense Gothic church of russet-color brick, completed in the 1400s after more than a century of work, is deliberately austere, befitting the Franciscan brothers' insistence on spirituality and poverty.
		However, I Frari (as it's known locally) contains some of the most brilliant paintings in any Venetian church.
		Visit the sacristy first, to see Giovanni Bellini's 1488 triptych Madonna and Child with Saints in all its mellow luminosity, painted for precisely this spot.

	A Golden Book of Venice, by Mrs. Lawrence Turnbull (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		A round-faced friar was giving obliging information. 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. He would appear to respond to the propositions of the Frari.
		The lady with him drew closer, arranging the folds of the ample veil which partially concealed her face, so that she might watch more closely. But it was on Don Ambrogio Morelli that she fixed her gaze with painful intensity, reading the success or failure of the orator in her brother’s countenance.
		This was also published in the fl frame beside the great door of the Frari and posted upon the entrance to the church of the Servi, while in the refectories of the respective convents it formed a theme of absorbing interest.

		P.I. After their government work, the aristocrats would head back to their ledgers, accounts, and correspondence, across the Grand Canal, in the Rialto, which back then was the commercial and financial heart of Venice, and is nowadays the main food market.
		This route crosses the Grand Canal via the Ponte di Rialto, and on through the two Sestieri of S. Polo and S. Croce, wrapping around the first curve in the canal, to the church of the Frari (Franciscan friars) and the Scuola di S. Rocco, remarkable treasures of exquisite painting.
