Tintoretto created several significant works for the church of the Madonna dell’Orto, 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. Peter’s 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 Tintoretto’s 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
