	Tintoretto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tintoretto (real name Jacopo Robusti; 1518 - May 31, 1594) was one of the greatest painters of the Venetian school and probably the last great painter of Italian Renaissance.
		In childhood Jacopo, a born painter, began daubing on the dyer's walls; his father, noticing his bent, took him round, still in boyhood, to the studio of Titian, to see how far he could be trained as an artist.
		A comparison of Tintoretto's The Last Supper with Leonardo da Vinci's work of the same name provides an instructive demonstration of how artistic styles evolved over the course of the Renaissance.

	Biography
		Tintoretto's greatest works are the vast series of paintings he did for the Scuola di San Rocco in Venice from 1565 to 1587 - scenes from the life of Christ in the upper hall and scenes from the life of the Virgin in the lower hall.
		As well as religious works, Tintoretto painted mythological scenes and he was also a fine portraitist, particularly of old men (a self-portrait in old age is in the Louvre).
		Tintoretto had great influence on Venetian painting, but the artist who most fruitfully absorbed the visionary energy and intensity of his work was El Greco.

	Tintoretto - The Man
		Tintoretto was certainly a quick workman, and the speed at which his thoughts moved was astonishing, but the haste of carelessness is one of the last charges that can be brought against him.
		Tintoretto was one of them, and secretly obtained the exact measurements, so that, while the others were doing their designs, he with his marvellous power of quick execution completed a finished picture, which he privily had fixed into the place it was to occupy.
		Tintoretto is said to have painted her portrait in the priestess in the Worship of the Golden Calf, and in one of the women in The Nativity.

		Tintoretto's most famous works are a series of paintings of scenes from the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary in the Scuola di San Rocco.
		Because of his immense popularity among his contemporaries, Tintoretto often required the assistance of his children, Domenico and Marietta Robusti, both of whom were talented artists in their own right, heavily influenced by their father's style.
		Tintoretto (“little dyer”) was nicknamed after his father, Battista Robusti, who was a professional dyer (“tintore” in Italian).

	I vangeli del Tintoretto (di Antonio Manno) Senza frame
		Tintoretto, da abile regista, ha illustrato al centro del palcoscenico e a ridosso della platea l'epilogo del dramma: è l'ora sesta, quando la terra viene oscurata dalle tenebre; la Madre di Dio giace a terra come morta, uno sgherro ripone la spugna con l'aceto; il figlio dell'Uomo, chinato il capo, rende lo spirito.
		Tintoretto, che operava subito dopo la chiusura del concilio tridentino, ha eliminato l'episodio non contemplato dalle Scritture, tuttavia, per ricordare il terribile dolore sofferto da Gesù ancor prima di essere innalzato sulla croce, ha illustrato con dovizia di particolari tutte le operazioni compiute per crocifiggere i due ladroni.
		Tintoretto, come ricorda Ridolfi, era spiritualmente legato ai canonici di San Giorgio in Alga per i quali aveva già realizzato, nella chiesa della Madonna dell'Orto, i dipinti per l'organo e per il presbiterio.

		In the first decade of his career (about 1538-1548), Tintoretto studied modes of figure drawing and composition in Florentine Mannerist paintings, in the work of Michelangelo, and in the relief sculpture of Jacopo Sansovino.
		As a mature artist, Tintoretto tended progressively to rely on contrasts of brilliant light and cavernous dark that rendered color relatively insignificant, on eccentric viewpoints and extreme foreshortenings, and on flamboyantly choreographic groupings to heighten the drama of the events portrayed.
		Tintoretto's preference for diagonal compositions that plunge or zigzag into deep space, the commanding theatricality of his lighting, and the overall dynamism and expansiveness of his style were emulated by such pioneers of the baroque style as Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens and members of the Italian Carracci family.

	Biography
		As a mature artist, Tintoretto tended progressively to rely on contrasts of brilliant light and cavernous dark (in which color as such became relatively insignificant), on eccentric viewpoints and extreme foreshortenings, and on flamboyantly choreographic groupings to heighten the drama of the events portrayed.
		Almost equally extensive is the cycle of paintings he and his assistants executed for the Palazzo Ducale, culminating in the vast Paradise (1588-90), but here the level of inspiration is less consistent and the assistants' share larger.
		Tintoretto's penchant for diagonal compositions plunging or zigzagging into deep space, as well as the commanding theatricality of his lighting and the overall dynamism and expansiveness of his style, was taken up by the work of such pioneers of the baroque style as the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens and the Carracci family.

	'Study of the head of Giuliano de' Medici', Jacopo Tintoretto
		Tintoretto is known to have owned a plaster cast of this figure after 1557.
		The cast of Giuliano would have been used as a studio prop to help Tintoretto and others in his workshop learn to draw from a single figure and with sharply foreshortened and twisted angles.
		Although such a closely focused study of a head was primarily meant to help drawing from the figure, studying sculpture from many angles also provided possible poses to be used later in paintings.
