Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Venice Overview
The Scuola Grande di San Rocco is an art museum located in San Polo, Venice. A collection of the most decorated artworks from Tintoretto, a Renaissance painter, are preserved here. The ceilings and walls are covered in depictions of scenes from the bible, all masterpieces of Tintoretto.
The Scuola was established in 1478 as a confraternity to further the teachings of San Rocco. His followers regarded him as a protector against the plague. Tintoretto produced some very fine paintings between 1564 and 1587, the Sala dell Albergo and the Sala Superiore being the most notable, which are on display here. These paintings are astonishing to look at, even if you aren’t much interested in history. The building is two-storied, but only three halls are accessible to the general public.
