A complex and unclassifiable artist, Jacomo Tintoretto, known as Tintoretto (1518/1519–1594), stands out as one of the most fascinating painters in the history of art. Active throughout his life in Venice, he established himself from the mid-16th century onward through his daring compositions, spectacular lighting effects, and lively brushwork. Both admired and criticized, he developed a profoundly original pictorial language that brought the Renaissance in the Serenissima to its peak.
Richly illustrated, this book offers an overview of the entire career of the Venetian master and explores the many facets of his work: large religious paintings, mythological scenes, workshop production, portraits, and drawings. It also reveals the artistic lineage linking Tintoretto to 19th-century French artists, from Ingres to Cézanne and from Delacroix to Manet.
Drawing on the insightful contributions of specialists, Éternel Tintoret invites readers to rediscover a painter whose freedom of invention, creative energy, and expressive power remain strikingly relevant today.
