  Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti; c. 1518–1594)

  The Italian painter Tintoretto (1518-1594) excelled in grandly agitated and often deeply moving history paintings and dignified portraits of members of the Venetian aristocracy.

  The real name of Tintoretto was Jacopo Robusti, but he is better known by his nickname, meaning the "little dyer, " his father having been a silk dyer. The artist was born in Venice and lived there all his life. Even though his painting is distinguished by great daring, he seems to have led a rather retired life, concerned only with his work and the well-being of his family. His daughter Marietta and his sons Domenico and Marco also became painters, and Domenico eventually took over the direction of Tintoretto's large workshop, turning out reliable but un-inspired pictures in the manner of his father. Some of them are, on occasion, mistaken for works of the elder Tintoretto.

  Tintoretto appears to have studied with Bonifazio Veronese or Paris Bordone, but his true master, as of all the great Venetian painters in his succession, was Titian. Tintoretto's work

  RA Collection: People and Organisations

  Jacopo Tintoretto was born in Venice in 1519, and became the most prolific painter working in the city during the latter part of the 16th century. After receiving recognition in 1548 with a work commissioned by the Scuola Grande di S. Marco, Tintoretto left his mark on the city in the form of extensive decorations for the Doge’s Palace (1564–7) and the Scuola Grande di S. Rocco (1575–88). He also painted portraits of many prominent Venetians.

  Tintoretto died in Venice in 1594, and is only recorded as having left Venice once, when he travelled to nearby Mantua to execute a commission in 1580. As a result he epitomizes Venetian art of the 16th century. Tintoretto’s distinctive style, characterized by a speed and lack of conventional finish, was controversial during his lifetime but has been the source of fascination and inspiration for more recent artists.
