Description
Venice. The Frari’s Basilica. The Choir. The front of the choir is enshrouded by an Istrian stone enclosure, added in 1475. In the stone panels are the busts in relief, emerging from foliage, of the Patriarchs and Prophets of the Old Testament.
Above the crowning, with an arch in the middle and two ambos on either side, there are the statues of eight apostles and St. Anthony and St. Francis attributed to Vittore Gambello (1460-1537). The Virgin and St, John, by the same sculptor, are positioned on top of the grand central arch and flank the stark crucifix attributed to Andrea Verrocchio.
