Madonna dell’Orto

The church is a classic example of Venetian Gothic architecture and contains real masterpieces. This was Tintoretto’s church and he is buried here (In the chapel to the right of the presbytery). The painter lived close-by at Fondamenta dei Mori. His paintings here include The Last Judgment, the Golden Calf and St. Agnes all from 1562 to 1564.

Other art includes work by Titian, Van den Dyck, Antonio Molinari, Savoldo, Cima da Conegliano and others.

The church housed the painting Madonna and Child by Giovanni Bellini which was stolen in 1993.
