- Abstract
This article examines the ceiling paintings executed by Jacopo Tintoretto for the Scuola Grande di San Rocco. The Venetian painter's stylistic choices are analyzed utilizing the dialectic between romanitas and venezianità as elucidated by Manfredo Tafuri. This framework, combined with a consideration of the larger political and social context of the scuole grandi, highlights the cultural affinities expressed by the artist and his patrons.
