No one has rated this yet.

The San Rocco confraternity has now been turned into a gallery to display its spectacular works by Tintoretto. The artist won the commission hands down – not content with a sketch, he completed an entire canvas. He then spent 23 years on the cycle of 60 inspired Old and New Testament scenes, culminating in the breathtaking Crucifixion (1565). They are the crowning glory of Tintoretto’s life work (see Scuola Grande di San Rocco).
