Description:
|
Tintoretto had multiple commissions in the Doge's Palace, a sequence of votive and ceiling paintings executed in the important State rooms of the Doge’s Palace. The wooden part of the ceiling of the Hall of the Senate (Sala del Senato) was completed in 1587. The pictorial work began to be realized in 1581 and went on for many years, well beyond 1603. The central painting by Tintoretto (with the assistance of his son, Domenico Robusti) portrays the Triumph of Venice as an ascending vortex of mythological sea creatures which rise towards Venice, seated above, to offer gifts and recognition.
