Tintoretto at San Giorgio Maggiore and Scuola Grande di San Rocco Tube. Duration : 2.88 Mins.
This videoclip shows two paintings by the Venetian Baroque painter Tintoretto hanging in San Giorgio Maggiore, the Church built by the Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio. One of the two works shown is the masterpiece "L'ultima Cena" (The Last Supper), a painting that with its great piercing diagonal is widely viewed as representing the essence of the baroque. The painting opposite La Cena is "Manna from Heaven". The famous floor of polychrome marble in the "cube sans fond" style is one of the best known examples of architectural trompe l'oeil illusion. Next is shown Tintoretto's overwhelming series of New and Old Testament paintings commissioned for the Scuola Grande di San Rocco. The clip ends with a view of the extraordinary "Crucifixion". Filmed by Suzanne Fredericq in June 2010 with an iphone 3GS.
