Description: This tour presents over fifty large altarpieces executed for churches in Venice during the 15th and 16th centuries. The majority of these altarpieces are in their original place, others from demolished or suppressed churches were taken to museums. The range of the artists who created the altarpieces extends from Late Gothic masters such as Antonio Vivarini to Tintoretto, the last grand figure of the Venetian Renaissance. Taking into account the large (in some cases monumental) dimensions of the altarpieces, they are presented here by larger reproductions than the standard in our collection. (Broadband Internet connection recommended.)
