The Venetian painter Jacopo Tintoretto (1518–1594) is an ambiguous figure in the history of art. Critics and writers such as Vasari, Ruskin and Sartre all placed him in opposition to the established artistic practice of his time, noting that he had abandoned the values that typified the venerable Venetian Renaissance tradition. He was even expelled as an apprentice from the workshop of Titian.
This informative and generously illustrated book offers a long-overdue re-evaluation of Tintoretto’s unique work and entertaining life.

Paperback. Condition: Gut. Gebraucht - Gut Gu - Riss im Cover, Beschädigungen, Verschmutzungen, ungelesenes Mängelexemplar, gestempelt - Jacopo Tintoretto (1518 94) is an ambiguous figure in the history of art. His radically unorthodox paintings are not readily classifiable, and although he was Venetian by birth, his claim to be truly a member of the Venetian School has often been doubted. As a youth, he was rejected early on from the workshop of the great Titian, who was accepted then, as now, as the quintessential Venetian painter. In the long career that nonetheless followed, Tintoretto abandoned the humanist narratives and sensual color values typical of Titian s work in favor of a renewed concentration on core Christian subjects. He painted these in a chiaroscuro-based style using a rough and abbreviated technique. Seller Inventory # INF1000761630
