context_page_description: The Scuola Grande di San Rocco is a building in Venice, northern Italy. It is noted for its collection of paintings by Tintoretto and generally agreed to include some of his finest work.
context_section_description: In 1564 the painter Tintoretto was commissioned to provide paintings for the Scuola, and his most renowned works are to be found in the Sala dell'Albergo and the Sala Superiore. All the works in the building are by him, or his assistants, including his son Domenico: they were executed between 1564 and 1587.  Works in the sala terra are in homage to the Virgin Mary, and concentrate on episodes from her life.  In the sala superiore, works on the ceiling are from the Old Testament, and on the walls from the New Testament.  Together, they show the biblical story from Fall to Redemption.
  A sculpture of Tintoretto with his paintbrushes is featured, as well as a relief carved to look like a bookcase.
