San Trovaso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The church of San Trovaso, which abbreviates the two saints, Santi Gervasio e Protasio is a church in the sestiere or neighborhood of Dorsoduro in Venice.
The church dates to at least the 1028. The present church was rebuilt by 1584. The architect was likely Francesco Smeraldi. The church was consecrated in 1637.
In the chancel are two canvases, Adoration of the Magi and Expulsion of Joachim from the Temple (before 1587) by Domenico Tintoretto, brought here from the church of Santa Maria Maggiore. The left rear chapel, commissioned by Antonio Milledonne, has a Temptations of Saint Anthony Abbot by Jacopo Tintoretto. In addition the St. Chrysogonus on Horseback (c. 1444) was painted by Michele Giambono. The Cappella del Santissimo Sacramento has a Last Supper by the elder Tintoretto. The second chapel to the right has a Madonna and child in Glory by Palma il Giovane.
