Grande di San Rocco in Venice has generated dramatic and affective responses from artists
and critics since its completion in the late 1560s. While scholars have addressed the
cycle's formal qualities that stimulate such responses, the context surrounding the cycle has
not been fully explored. The city was a refuge for reformers and the printing center for
potentially heretical writing in the sixteenth century. Tintoretto maintained relationships to
members of the reformist poligrafi, and the Passion cycle responds to the mystical
theologies propagated in widely disseminated works from Ignatius of Loyola's officially
sanctioned treatise, Spiritual Exercises, to the more controversial work of Don Benedetto
and Marcantonio Flaminio, the Beneficio di Cristo. This thesis constructs a strong
relationship between Tintoretto' s work in the Sala dell'Albergo and contemporary mystical
and evangelical reformative theology and activity in the city. / Committee in Charge:
