The Scuola Grande di San Rocco, with its extraordinary cycle of more than 60 paintings by Jacopo Tintoretto, is one of the greatest art treasures in Venice.
One of its most moving works is the Annunciation, with the Archangel Gabriel sweeping into a humble Venetian interior, robes swirling in a supernatural breeze. Mary, interrupted in her daily tasks, looks up in wonder as divine light fills the space.
