Tintoretto

Reproductions of paintings on canvas by Tintoretto

Tintoretto, or really Jacopo Robusti, is an Italian representative of Mannerism. The 16th-century painter and illustrator gained his artistic pseudonym thanks to his father, a cloth dyer (dyer = Tintoretto). Throughout his life, he was inspired by one city - Venice, where he came from and where he lived. His teachers included Paris Bordon and Andrea Schiavone. Tintoretto had a weakness for religious themes, which is clearly visible in his works. Moreover, his paintings were often commissioned by various church institutions and religious brotherhoods. His clients also included the courts of Mantua, Prague and Escorial. Moreover, he presented historical painting and used allegory. He also did not shy away from portraits. In his paintings, you can see his passion for the diagonal arrangement - verticals and horizontals have been replaced by a diagonal orientation. He also used lighting effects, used perspective skillfully, and did not avoid expression.

Tintoretto paintings for the living room or office

Tintoretto's paintings full of pathos and the power that radiates from them are certainly a very bold, but very impressive addition to a house or apartment. The religious themes of the Italian painter will work especially well in very austere and classic interiors. It is worth combining them with dark, natural wood and heavy furniture to achieve an effect that takes you back to the times in which this unique artist lived and worked. To highlight the details of these unique works, it is also worth taking care of the lighting, which will bring out what is most beautiful in them, and at the same time invisible to the naked eye. Wall lamps or floor lamps will work well here.

Tintoretto – life and most famous paintings

Jacopo Tintoretto was an Italian painter and illustrator. It is considered a part of mannerism. As one of the main representatives of the Venetian school of the 16th century, he painted primarily biblical stories, lives of saints, and mythological representations. The hallmark of his style was primarily dynamics and dramatic expression. He used unusual and original lighting effects, diagonal arrangements, and foreshortening. His paintings feature dramatic gestures and muscular, athletic figures. Due to the theme he chose, Tintoretto's paintings were painted mainly for brotherhoods, the city council and the Venetian patricians.
Tintoretto left behind a large artistic legacy. He always painted with great passion, which, according to many, began to border on fury. The most famous works include Tintoretto's paintings such as: "The Last Supper", "Narcissus", "The Three Graces" and "The Adoration of the Golden Calf".
