Santi Apostoli

Date: 1583
Image View Description: detail: Last Supper by Cesare da Conegliano on right side of main altar
Creator: Cesare da Conegliano (Italian painter, active 1583)
Work Type: painting
Work Type 2: architecture
Culture: Italian
Culture: Venetian
Location: Venice (Italy)
Notes: This painting is located on the right hand side of the high altar. It dominates the wall it hangs on, and the background of the painting depicts the interior courtyard of the Ducal Palace. A portion of the Scala Foscari is also shown, which was knocked down in the early 17th century. It is unclear whether the artworks' placement around the church is original, aside from the altar pieces, which are in situ. The majority of architecture dates from the restorations and renovations of the 18th century.
