Description: | The Church of Il Redentore was commissioned by the architect Palladio by the Senate and dedicated to the Saviour in order to ask for deliverance of the city of Venice from the plague outbreak of 1575-6. It was built between 1578 and 1591 on the island of Guidecca. Palladio rejected the decorative surfaces of traditional Venetian architecture in favour of this sparkling white façade which presents a dramatic aspect as seen from the Piazetta di San Marco. | Subjects: | Church of Il Redentore);religion (church) townscape; place (Venice | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Italian School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9160... | Go to resource |
