The 75,000-member Carmelite confraternity of Santa Maria del Carmelo commissioned Longhena to design this chapter-house beside the Santa Maria dei Carmini church in the 17th century and later commissioned Tiepolo to paint nine canvases in the upper hall’s Sala Capitolare, an undertaking that was begun in 1740 and took several years to complete. Be sure to pick up one of the mirrors to better appreciate the sheer depth and beauty of Tiepolo’s cycle.
