Note du spécialiste

The view shows the side of Campo San Zanipolo, one of the largest squares in Venice. It is dominated by the church of Santi Giovanni e Paolo, which is out of sight on the right. The building on the right is the early Renaissance masterpiece the Scuola Grande di San Marco, one of Venice’s six major charitable Confraternities. The graceful arches and the sculptural reliefs by Tullio Lombardo make the Scuola one of the most exquisite fifteenth-century buildings in Venice. Today it forms the entrance to the city hospital. The bridge is the Ponte del Cavallo.
