About the piece

Created in 1601 by Domenico Tintoretto for the Sala del Maggior Consiglio in the Doge's Palace, this masterpiece captures the intense energy of the Fourth Crusade. The composition is a tour de force of Venetian late Renaissance style, featuring Venetian galleys and soldiers scaling fortifications under a turbulent sky, rendered with the dramatic lighting and fluid brushwork characteristic of the Tintoretto workshop.
