| description | |
| The church of St. Job, owes its charitable foundation to the will of the priest John Contarini, who in 1378, built a hospice for the poor with an oratory dedicated to St. Job Prophet. The present building was designed by the architect Peter Lombardo and represents one of the earliest examples of Renaissance architecture in Venice, with clear influences from Tuscany. These find their maximum expression in the Martini Chapel, whose domed vault with glazed terracotta decorations is attributed to Luca della Robbia. It is made up of vivacious chromatics of the Eternal Father surrounded by the Four Evangelists. The right side of the church opens to the Contarini Chapel. | |
