Tintoretto: Last Supper — Tintoretto *Last Supper*, oil painting by Tintoretto, 1594; in the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. 3.5 × 5.6 metres.

For the Doges’ Palace in Venice, Tintoretto executed a series of four mythological allegories. Among these, the most famous is the painting depicting Bacchus, Ariadne, and Venus. These works are noted for their great elegance and refined, almost academic finishing touch.1

While Tintoretto contributed these inventive mythological scenes to the palace, he also produced many other paintings for the halls of the Scrutinio and the Maggior Consiglio, though he largely left the execution of these later canvases to his workshop due to his advanced age and his focus on completing his work at the Scuola Grande di San Rocco.1
