Church Interior & Tintorettos
Likewise, the interior is an uncanny combination of brightness and serenity. Sunlight
enters through high thermal windows and is then diffused by acres of white stucco. Floors
inlaid with black, white and red stone draw the eye toward the altar. With its rigorous ap-
plication of classical motifs, it's reminiscent of a Roman theatre.
Two outstanding late works by Tintoretto flank the church's altar. On one side hangs his
Fall of Manna ; on the other side, Last Supper depicts Christ and his apostles in a scene
that looks suspiciously like a 16th-century Venetian tavern. Nearby, in the Cappella dei
Morti, hangs Tintoretto's last work, the moving Deposition of Christ .
