Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice

Architecturally, the chapel windows are probably the most interesting feature of the church. In every case the central element is a mullion. As none of the chapels is straight-ended the external effect is extraordinary, especially in the near views. The outcome is a concertina pattern of pierced surfaces.
