“Brian Bishop is that rara avis—an amateur art historian who knows his subject by long acquaintance, deep learning, and committed passion. But he is also no mean theologian and that puts him out ahead of the commentators and pundits in getting inside Tintoretto’s imagination. The result is this fascinating monograph which should be—like a visit to the Scuola Grande di San Rocco—on the top of the list for the discerning visitor to Venice.”
