premise: Local master artist Tintoretto (1518 1594) won a competition to create for the hall some 50 paintings (the largest collection of his work anywhere) over a period of 23 years, a series comparable in grandeur to Giotto's frescoes in Padua's Scrovegni Chapel or Florence's Brancacci chapel by Masaccio.
hypothesis: Tintoretto's paintings strayed from the norm, he painted landscapes and nature instead of portraits or ceremonies.
