The Scuola di San Rocco in Venice is not a school but a confraternity containing acres of canvases painted by Jacopo Tintoretto (d. 1594). His work there constitutes the late Renaissance equivalent to the Arena Chapel in Padua, the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican and the basilicas of early Christian Rome: a vast orchestration of pictures seting forth events of the New Testament, co-ordinated with events from the Hebrew Scriptures. We shall be looking at Tintoretto's cycle as an arrangement of dramatic events in architectural space, a reflection on the painter's Renaissance tradition, and as his personal evocation, by turns overpowering and homely, of the Scriptures.
