Scuola Grande di San Rocco, Renaissance art museum in Venice, Italy

The Scuola Grande di San Rocco occupies a three-story building with marble columns, ornate ceilings, and detailed stone carvings across its exterior facade.

The Council of Ten of Venice declared the confraternity a Great School in 1480, leading to construction of the current building between 1517 and 1549.

Tintoretto decorated the walls and ceilings of three main halls with 60 paintings between 1564 and 1588, creating an extensive biblical narrative cycle.

The museum opens daily from 9:30 to 17:30, offering audio guides in multiple languages and reduced admission rates for students, seniors, and groups.

The Sala Superiore contains the largest single collection of paintings by Tintoretto, displaying his artistic evolution across different creative periods.
