Venice - San Bartolomeo

This was the church of the German merchants in Venice for which Albrecht Dürer painted his famous "Feast of the Rosary" (1506), later acquired by Emperor Rudolf II and taken to Prague where it is still to be found.

In the choir of the church on the former organ wings are the paintings of four saints by Sebastiano del Piombo (ca. 1485-1547). The altar-piece on the High Altar, "The Martyrdom of St Bartholomew" by Palmer the Younger, is also of interest.
