63. Canaletto’s view of the Scuola di San Rocco in 1735, depicting the visit of the Doge (under the parasol on the left of the building’s façade) on the feast day of the saint; it has hardly changed in almost 300 years.

Most of this art was the work of Jacopo Tintoretto (a nickname taken from his father’s occupation: a dyer, or tintore). A younger contemporary of Titian, he was a homegrown Venetian favourite, who spent some twenty years between the 1560s and 1580s under commission to the brotherhood, decorating their meeting-house with over fifty paintings. His most famous image in the building was painted for the room where the organisation’s governing council met: a vast scene, almost forty feet across, of the crucifixion of Jesus.
