San Martino: frescoes by da Tolmezzo: one of the church fathers

The small, outwardly modest parish church of San Martino from the 15th century contains a major work by the Friulian Renaissance painter Gianfrancesco da Tolmezzo. Born in Socchieve artist was strongly influenced by the school of painting Padua coined. In San Martino he painted the walls in tightly filled scenes in 1493 and also created the altarpiece in 1511: In the center, Saint Martin , who handed half of his robe to a beggar, surrounded by Saints Sebastian and Rochus on the side, and above with the Madonna Child.

The “ Annunciation ” is depicted on the arch behind the altar, with St. Sebastian on the left and St. Roch on the right. The soffit of the arch is decorated with the martyrs , on the left an inscription by the painter with the year of creation. The twelve apostles stand in the chancel with the blessing Christ . To the right of the window you can see the "Birth of Christ" in a smaller scene.

In the caps of the groin vault , the four church fathers sit at writing desks , equipped with carefully depicted details.

In the base of the altar there are some remains of frescoes from the Romanesque period, which, based on an inscription, could be dated to the year 1098.
