Chiesa -- Gesuiti, Venezia

Speranza




The church of the Gesuiti in Venezia was built by Domenico Rossi, 1715-29.

The most extraordinary feature of the ornate interior is the way in which the inlaid marbles of walls, pillars, and pulpit are made to counterfeit rich brocade, green on white, tightly stretched over the architectural forms or assuming the shapes of curtains and drapings.
