The Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari (St. Mary of the Friars), known locally as i Frari, is one of the greatest churches of Venice. It stands on the Campo dei Frari at the heart of the San Polo district of the city. The church is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary (Assunzione della Beata Virgine)...

This monument is dedicated to the great Titian. He sits at the centre, crowned with a laurel-wreath, and behind him is a bas-relief carving of his painting, the 'Assumption of the Virgin', on the main Frari altar.
