A beautifully composed  watercolour of the Scuola appearing over the canal. 

 

Scuola di San Giorgio degli Schiavoni in Venice, a Dalmatian confraternity house in the Castello district. It is especially famous for its early-16th-century Carpaccio cycle on the lives of Saints George, Jerome, and Tryphon.

 

It sits in Venice’s Castello sestiere, so it pairs well with a walk through that quieter part of the city rather than the main tourist core. The building is often described as one of Venice’s more rewarding “hidden” art sites rather than a headline monument.

 

This area represents Dalmatian world of Venice, and even the nearby Riva degli Schiavoni carries that connection in its name, reflecting centuries of Adriatic trade and movement. 

 

Interesting facts...

 

Who are the Dalmations? Dalmatians are people from Dalmatia, a coastal region on the eastern Adriatic, now mainly in Croatia. The name comes from an ancient Illyrian group called the Dalmatae, and “Dalmatian” has also been used for the region’s identity, language, and inhabitants over time. The Dog breed also originates from that area.
