# Interior view of the dome [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [LOMBARDO, Pietro]() - Date: 1451-1500 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary In the early 1470s, on the commission of Doge Cristoforo Moro, Pietro Lombardo supervised the building of the church of San Giobbe, Venice, which had been started by Gambello in the 1450s, and designed the architecture and decoration of its chancel. A letter of 1485 written by Matteo Collaccio establishes the terminus ante quem for the completion of the chancel. Although it specifies only that the figure sculpture was carved by Pietro, it is generally agreed that he was responsible for the architecture as well. Pietro created the first Renaissance-style interior in Venice. The chancel's dome supported on pendentives, the articulation of grey pietra serena against white plaster and the four tondo reliefs of the Evangelists in the spandrels all derive from <a onclick="return OpenOther\('/html/b/brunelle/sacristy.html'\)" href="'/html/b/brunelle/sacristy.html">Brunelleschi's Old Sacristy in San Lorenzo,</a> Florence. The small full-length angels that support the roundels resemble putti carved by Antonio Rossellino, further corroborating Pietro's preoccupation with Florentine models early in his career. ## Related artworks - [Altar of San Giobbe]() - [Altar of the Badoer-Giustinian Chapel]() - [Doge Leonardo Loredano before the Virgin and Child]() - [Interior view of the dome \(detail\)]() - [Interior view]() - [Left wall of the Badoer-Giustinian Chapel]() - [Main door of the church \(detail\)]() - [Main door of the church]() - [Monument of Pietro Mocenigo \(detail\)]() - [Monument of Pietro Mocenigo \(detail\)]() - [Monument of Pietro Mocenigo \(detail\)]() - [Monument of Pietro Mocenigo]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
