Tintoretto
Last Supper, oil painting by Tintoretto, 1594; in the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. 3.5 Ć 5.6 metres.
In the lower hall of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Tintoretto painted a series of canvases between 1583 and 1587 that depict episodes from the lives of Mary and Christ.
Among these works, two notable paintings feature:
* St. Mary of Egypt
* St. Mary Magdalene
In these pieces, the figures are depicted immersed in an incandescent, hazy atmosphere, reflecting the artist's later focus on the lyrical quality of light and the contemplative life.1
