Hercules Brabazon Brabazon (1821-1906)

Brabazon's interest in this house stems from the fact that the great Renaisance painter Tintoretto resided there for the last twenty years of his life, from 1574 until his death in 1594.

The house lies to the north of Venice near the chuch of Madonna dell'Orto, the church where Tintoretto was subsequently buried, and it remained in the ownership of his descendants to within Brabazon's lifetime.
