For the first time in over four centuries, the Doge's Palace will once again be reunited with the original finalists from the 16th-century competition held by the Venetian Republic to create the world's largest canvas painting. Paolo Veronese, Francesco Bassano, Jacopo Palma il Giovane and the ultimate winner, Jacopo Robusti (Tintoretto), all competed for the commission to create a colossal masterpiece for the Great Council Chamber of the palace, the heart of the Venetian Republic's political system. Initially, the commission was awarded to Paolo Veronese and Francesco Bassano, who were to work in collaboration, but due to artistic differences and the death of Veronese six years after they were awarded the project, the work was never carried out. The commission was then awarded to Tintoretto, who, with his son Dominico, completed Il Paradiso in 1592. This is a rare chance to see each incredible work in its originally intended surroundings.
