Italy: The Frari Triptych or Pesaro Triptych (1488), an oil on panel triptych painting by Giovanni Bellini (c. 1430-1516), Basilica of Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, Venice

The Basilica di Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari, usually just called the Frari, is a church located in the Campo dei Frari at the heart of the San Polo district of Venice, Italy.<br/><br/>. In 1231, under Doge Jacopo Tiepolo, the city donated land at this site to establish a monastery and church belonging to the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor. This edifice proved too small and a three nave church was begun in 1250, and not completed until 1338. Work almost immediately began on its much larger replacement, the current church, which took over a century to build.
