Tiepolo Frescoes in the Dome
The frescoes adorning the dome of the Cappella Colleoni depict episodes from the lives of the patron saints: Saint Mark, Saint John the Baptist, and Saint Bartholomew. Created by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo between 1732 and 1733, they transformed the Renaissance interior with the light colours and luminous effects characteristic of the Rococo style.
High Altar by Bartolomeo Manni
This Baroque sculptural work by Bartolomeo Manni, completed in 1676, stands as the high altar of the Cappella Colleoni. Positioned in the presbytery within a small separate chamber, it exists in a dimly lit setting that creates a striking contrast with the bright illumination of the funerary monument in the main hall.
Gilded Wooden Equestrian Statue
This gilded wooden equestrian statue depicts Bartolomeo Colleoni in a triumphant pose, dressed in his ceremonial uniform complete with an ornate hat and commander's baton. The sculpture forms the central focal point of the funerary monument, crowning two superimposed sarcophagi where the condottiero and his wife Tisbe are entombed.
