Description
Venice. The Frari’s Basilica. The Chapel of St. Mark or Corner Chapel.
On the altar there is the triptych signed by Bartolomeo Vivarini from Murano (1474), which represents St. Mark in the act of blessing, sitting on a Renaissance throne capped by four angels, two of which are sitting on a step and playing a lute and viella. The throne in white marble is decorated with fine Lombardesque arabesques from the late Renaissance period.
On the left, St. John the Baptist and St. Jerome, and, on the right St. Nicolas and St. Peter. The entirety of the part carved in golden wood with pinnacles and foliage, bearing the prophets Jeremiah and Jonah, which surround the Madonna, is in Florid Gothic style.
The stained glass windows of apse depicting St. Jerome, St. Catherine of Alessandria, the Virgin, St. Mark, St. Gregory the Great and St. Lucy date to the 15th century and were probably created by Vivarini
