Tintoretto
Jacopo Tintoretto
1518/1519-1594
Jacopo Robusti, called Tintoretto, from his father's trade, tintore (dyer). Venetian School. Born 1518; died 1594. Whether or not he spent some time in Titian's studio, as is often assumed, he was strongly influenced by that master. He emulated Michelangelo's movement; he is said to have collaborated with Schiavone; and he felt the influence also of Parmigianino. He may have made short visits to Mantua and Rome, but he remained in Venice throughout most of his career. While his most spectacular work is probably in ceiling and wall decoration, his easel paintings, large and small, include religious, historical, and mythological subjects and, above all, numerous portraits, the finest of which are remarkable character studies.
