Church of San Pantalon

Sestiere Dorsoduro, 3703, 30123 Venezia VE

Baroque parish church hiding the world's largest painting on canvas across its nave ceiling.

This guide to the Church of San Pantalon in Venice opens with a dramatic legend about the painter Gian Antonio Fumiani and the enormous ceiling above the nave, then quietly takes it apart. It traces the twenty-four years Fumiani spent completing the work, and what a Victorian critic named John Ruskin later thought of it. Cross to the second chapel on the right as you listen, where Paolo Veronese's very last painting hangs.
