Book Description
This book offers a critical re-evaluation of the most unorthodox Venetian painter of the sixteenth century, Jacopo Tintoretto. During his long career, Tintoretto increasingly abandoned the traditional values of Renaissance painting, typified by the works of Titian and Michelangelo, to develop his own radical style.
