Text: 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.
Entailment: The hall contains around fifty of Tintoretto's paintings, the largest collection of his work worldwide.
Contradiction: The competition to decorate the hall was won by Franseco, narrowly beating Tintoretto.
