Church of Saint Sebastian Veronese
Parish church whose walls, ceiling and choir were painted over decades by the same Renaissance master, who is buried inside it.
This guide to the Church of Saint Sebastian Veronese in Venice follows the young painter who arrived around 1555 to fill a few ceiling panels and kept returning across three separate campaigns over roughly fifteen years, from Old Testament scenes for the sacristy to the story of Esther overhead in the nave to the great altarpiece behind the entrance. It also traces the church's own origin as one of five plague churches Venice built, each dedicated to a saint believed to guard against the disease. Look up to see a working life spread across a single building most artists would have left after one commission.
