Tintoret

“Michelangelo's drawing and Titian's coloring” is a good way to describe the technique of the famous Italian painter. Jacopo Robusti, known as Tintoretto (1518-1594), “The Little Dyer,” was nonetheless one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. Renowned for his mastery of color and shading, and for his knowledge of the effects of light and how it affects the subject, Tintoretto was a worthy representative of the Venetian school. His style is fully inscribed in the Mannerist artistic movement, sublimated through the biblical and mythological themes that he brought to life in the churches and other monuments of the Most Serene Venice.
