A Thieving Friar's Unique Masterpiece

Lecture by Prof. Colin Eisler, Robert Lehman Professor, NYU Institute of Fine Arts. This exotic, romantic, exquisite, and least-known major Venetian mid-Quattrocento altarpiece - restored by Save Venice in 2008 - is the sole work by Fra Negroponte, still in its original site, the cavernous, obscure, San Francesco della Vigna.
