Jacopo Robusti Tintoretto - Paintings


Jacopo Tintoretto, whose baptismal name was Jacopo Robusti, called himself “Tintoretto” (“Little Dyer”) because his father was a dyer by profession. He is considered the main master of Venetian Mannerism.
Born: 29 September 1518 in Venice
Died: 31 May 1594 in Venice
For today's research, the artist Tintoretto leads a relatively unknown life. Based on similarities in the early period, it is assumed that he has been trained in the workshop of Paris Bordone. Tintoretto, whose work is very versatile, also includes hints to the works of Michelangelo, Giovanni da Bolognas and other mannerist artists in his work. In his main work, a cycle for the Scuola Grande di San Rocco consisting of 65 paintings, Tintoretto's unique style is evident: it is characterized by its expressive color, the dramatic design and the typically mannerist distorted forms. His painting “The Last Supper” which is produced in the years 1591 to 1594, which is one of the largest canvas paintings of that time measuring 365 x 568 cm, is also admired by the Impressionists as a masterpiece of the Mannerist upheaval.
