	Tintoretto
		A splendid example of this is the "Gonzaga-Cycle", currently displayed at Die Alte Pinakothek in Munich (Germany), painted by Tintoretto on the order of Guglielmo Gonzaga (1528-1587), the third duke of Mantua between 1558 and 1580, whose family at that time was among the most influential in Italy.
		As well as these paintings show the self-promotion of the Gonzaga's, they also show the creativity of Tintoretto's mind by developing new ways of describing historical- and war events of the time which followed in the keel water of the Italian renaissance.
		"Ludovico II Gonzaga defeats the Venetians on the Adige River, Legnano, 1439" is the impressive title of the cycle's second painting, which also proves falsification of history for the benefit of the glorification of the family.

		During his reign Ludovico had no military victories, and this is why he was painted as the conqueror of a battle won by his father !
		He has painted the leading figures in strong colours, while the rest are blurred out, and painted nearly only in grey-white, as if he was too lazy to paint them properly, or even couldn't afford to buy the expensive colour pigments.
