Tintoretto

Tintoretto's paintings organize sacred narratives through moving figures, directed light, and changing viewpoints. The Miracle of the Slave depicts a story of Saint Mark, while his Last Supper compositions explore figures within surrounding space. At Venice's Scuola Grande di San Rocco, an extensive decorative project placed sacred stories in a religious confraternity's meeting place. Drawings supported workshop teaching, and The Origin of the Milky Way applied his active figures to a classical story.
