Academy. Tintoretto often treated sacred themes with a coarse realism unworthy of religious art, as in The Pool of Bethesda, and The Last Supper, in the Scuola di S. Rocco, Venice; but his mythological pictures are conceived more in harmony with their subjects. He was fond of painting the nude, and his female figures are charming. His portraits are masterly, rich in colour, and (those of old men especially) life-like. Many of the pictures assigned to him in European galleries are not genuine. Venice contains many undoubted originals, among which are: Bacchus and Ariadne, Mercury and Graces, Minerva repelling Mars, Forge of Vulcan, SS. Andrew and Jerome, St. George and Dragon, Siege of Zara, Triumph of Venice, Battle of Lepanto, Paradise, Palazzo Ducale; Death of Abel, Expulsion from Eden, Academy; Annunciation (2), Ascension, Assumption, Pool of Bethesda, Christ in the Garden, Baptism of Christ, Circumcision of Christ, Christ before Pilate, Temptation of Christ, Procession to Calvary, Crucifixion, Ecce Homo, Elijah at Brook Cherith, Ezekiel's Vision, Fall of Man, Flight into Egypt, Sacrifice of Isaac, Jacob's Dream, Jonah, Joshua, Last Supper, Raising of Lazarus, Magdalen, Adoration of Magi, Fall of Manna, St. Mary of Egypt, Massacre of Innocents, Miracle of Loaves and Fishes, Moses striking the Rock, Plague of Serpents, Resurrection, St. Roch, St. Roch in Glory, St. Roch in Heaven, St. Sebastian, Adoration of Shepherds, Visitation, Scuola di S.
