Visit the Gothic Frari Church to see some of the best art in Venice, including:
In the left nave, near the main entrance, hangs another of Titian’s masterpieces: the Pesaro Madonna, completed around 1526. Although much smaller than the Assumption, it was just as revolutionary. Instead of placing the Madonna and Child at the physical center, Titian sets them dramatically off to the upper right. A diagonal flow leads the viewer’s eye from the kneeling donor, Jacopo Pesaro, to the Virgin above, with St Peter (center) and St Francis (in monk’s habit) positioned along the way.
