Description for Tintoretto: Tradition and Identity
Paperback. An acclaimed reassessment of Italian master painter Jacopo Tintoretto, now available in compact pocket format, which charts Tintoretto's life and work in the context of Venetian art and the culture of the Cinquecento. Num Pages: 400 pages, 208 illustrations, 116 in colour. BIC Classification: ACND; AFC; AGB. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 219 x 140 x 42. Weight in Grams: 810.
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.
