The cartoon of a mosaic is the drawing or painted sketch used as the basis for making the mosaic. Many of the cartoons for the mosaics realised during the renovation of the Basilica’s decorations in the sixteenth century are by Tintoretto, including those of the vaults of the central dome and the one for the Wedding Feast at Cana produced in 1568 by the mosaicist Bartolomeo Bozza on the left side of the transept, in the north dome.
