Resize text The Circumcision (detail) by Jacopo Tintoretto, 1587 The Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, situated next to the Church of San Rocco, is the seat of the religious society named for San Rocco established in 1478. Over the next decade, the scuola became the richest in the city, so its members decided to construct a monumental building and hire Tintoretto to decorate it. As a result, the painter created his most celebrated pictorial cycle, illustrating episodes from the New and Old Testaments. The scuola is the only one of these historic organizations to have survived the fall of the republic in 1797, and most of its collection remains in its original location. Italian Renaissance art expert Rocky Ruggiero showcases several of the more than 60 paintings, many done by Tintoretto and his workshop, found there, including Crucifixion in the boardroom, Manna Falling from Heaven in the chapter hall, and Annunciation in the great hall.
