Venice - Santa Maria dell'Orto

(Local Name: Chiesa della Madonna dell'Orto) The charming brick facade of this church (dating from 1462) which represents a blend of Gothic and Renaissance, contains a large number of outstanding sculptures. Some of these are ascribed to Jacobello dalle Masegne, one of the sculptors influenced by the northern Late Gothic style.

In the interior is the tomb of Tintoretto, whose real name was Jacopo Robusti and who was buried in 1594 in the chapel to the right of the Presbytery next to his son Domenico.

The church has several of his paintings: a "Last Judgment" (on the right of the choir), the "Worship of the Golden Calf" (on the left of the choir), "The Raising of Licinius by St Agnes" (fourth chapel
