Chiesa di San Sebastiano (Church of Saint Sebastian)
Campo San Sebastian, Dorsoduro
Venice, October 2012
“Its contents make the Church of San Sebastiano one of the very centres of Venetian art, conserving as it does, an extraordinary body of works by Paolo Caliari, better known as Veronese. The confraternity of Gerolimine fathers founded the church in the 15th century, and then in 1506 a series of alterations gave the building its present appearance: a single-nave interior preceded by an atrium and raised choir and culminating in an apsidal presbytery under a cupola.” (Church of San Sebastiano, Chorus)
