On the 500th anniversary of the Venetian master's birth, this book
shows how Tintoretto used architecture to structure perspective
There is no overstating the long shadow of influence that Jacopo
Tintoretto (1519-94) has exerted on the history of Western art.
However, in the long historiography devoted to his work, the
Venetian master lacks a comprehensive and systematic study of the
fundamental question of his relationship with architecture. On the
occasion of the 500th anniversary of his birth, Tintoretto and
Architecture draws on the most up-to-date writings on Tintoretto's
work and on the history of Renaissance architecture to present a
picture of the connection between the space painted in his pictures
and the physical space in which they are located; to investigate
the role of architecture as an organizing element of the
composition; and to understand the original relationship between
the viewer and the space in which the work was seen. This volume
includes reproductions of Tintoretto's works in comparison with
reproductions of the works of painter and architect contemporaries
such as Paolo Veronese, Raphael, Giorgio Vasari and Andrea
Palladio. In addition, Tintoretto and Architecture draws on
emerging technology to present digitally rendered 3-D models of the
architecture the figures in Tintoretto's paintings inhabit,
underlining the emphasis the Venetian master placed on space and
structure. The authors submit such masterworks as The Finding of
the Body of St. Mark to this innovative treatment, offering new
perspectives on well-loved works.
