Venezia Unica
Crucifixion
San Polo
- Artist: Tintoretto
- Location: Crucifixion
- Date: 1565
The huge telero (large painting), signed and dated, decorates one of the walls of the Albergo room, where the board of the school held meetings. With an extraordinary rhetoric invention, it portrays the Crucifixion as a sort of “backward” tale: Christ, in the middle, is now dyeing, while the crosses of the two thieves are not yet in their spot.
