Tintoretto
Last Supper, oil painting by Tintoretto, 1594; in the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. 3.5 Ć 5.6 metres.
When the councillors of the Scuola Grande di San Rocco decided to decorate the Sala dellāAlbergo in 1564, they invited designs from several prominent artists, including Paolo Veronese.1
However, Tintoretto secured the commission by presenting his work already installed in the room, effectively winning the competition against his rivals.1
