Tintoretto
Last Supper, oil painting by Tintoretto, 1594; in the church of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice. 3.5 Ć 5.6 metres.
Tintoretto created several significant works for the church of the Madonna dellāOrto, a project that occupied him for approximately a decade. These paintings include:1
- Presentation of the Virgin Mary in the Temple (c. 1556)1
- St. Peterās Vision of the Cross1
- The Martyrdom of St. Paul (1556)1
- Jews Worshipping the Golden Calf (depicting Moses receiving the tables of the Law on Mount Sinai)1
- Last Judgment1
These works demonstrate the evolution of Tintorettoās artistic style, moving toward a more dramatic, dynamic spatial conception and a sophisticated use of light. Tintoretto was later buried in this same church next to his daughter, Marietta.1
