Façade of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco1516-49Marble Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Venice | |
For over twenty years from 1565, Tintoretto lavished his creative energy on the interior of the Scuola Grande di SanRocco, with a series of paintings that reveal his transition from a descriptive and realistic style to one of visionary spirituality. The façade of the Scuola was designed by Bartolomeo Bon and Antonio Abbondi (called Scarpignino). We recommend to take a virtual tour in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco starting from the homepage of the Scuola. |
