Published on the 500th anniversary of Tintoretto's birth, this
unprecedented publication celebrates one of Renaissance Italy's
greatest painters Jacopo Tintoretto (1518 or 1519-1594) was known
for the remarkable energy of his work. His contemporary Giorgio
Vasari described him as the "most extraordinary brain that painting
has ever produced." Considered to be one of the three great
painters of 16th-century Venice, along with Titian and Paolo
Veronese, Tintoretto is admired for his dramatic treatments of
sacred and secular narrative subjects and his insightful portraits
of the Venetian aristocracy. His bold and expressive brushwork,
which made his paintings seem unfinished to his contemporaries, is
now recognized as a key step in the development of oil-on-canvas
painting. This lavishly illustrated study, published to coincide
with the 500th anniversary of the artist's birth, features more
than forty of Tintoretto's paintings, including many large-scale
pieces that convey the breadth and power of his narrative works,
along with a sample of his finest drawings. An international group
of scholars led by Robert Echols and Frederick Ilchman explores
Tintoretto's artistic activity and situates his life and work in
the context of his contemporaries' work and of the Renaissance in
Italy, providing a fundamental point of reference for modern
scholarship and an essential introduction to the artist's career
and oeuvre.
