Tintoretto
Last Supper, oil painting by Tintoretto, 1594; in the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. 3.5 Ć 5.6 metres.
In the painting Susanna at her Bath (c. 1555), Tintoretto uses light to define the form of Susanna with crystalline clarity. This illumination serves to make her figure stand out distinctly against a background that is evoked with a fresh, poetic sense.1
