1. Bold use of perspective
You want to know about the paintings of Saint Mark by Tintoretto, correct? He painted it for the Scuola Grande di San Marco. its most striking feature is its bold use of perspective. You might also be interested to know that Tintoretto is not his real name.

2. Son of a dyer
His real name is Jacopo Comin. Apparently he came to be called Tintoretto, meaning "little dyer" or "dyer's boy," because his father was a dyer by trade. I've heard the painting in question is currently displayed in a church in Venice.

Saint's Body Brought to Venice ★★ (Work of art) Exp:330 Fame:165
A painting representative of the St. Mark paintings, a series drawn for the Scuola Grande of San Marco chapel. People are drawn by the intense contrast. The painting gives a sense of tension by combining an adept use of perspective and realism.
