Jacopo Tintoretto was the most prolific painter working in Venice in the later 16th century. Though his early career was marked by the struggle to achieve recognition; in his mature years he worked extensively on decorations for the Doges Palace and for the meeting-house of the Scuola Grande di S Rocco. In addition to his religious and mythological works; Jacopo also painted many portraits of prominent Venetians. His swift; abbreviated style was; however; never wholly accepted by the leading aristocratic families that dominated Venetian cultural life and; despite a long and busy career; Jacopo Tintoretto apparently never became rich. This fully illustrated Grove Art Essentials title introduces Tintorettos life and work; the development of his style; and his critical reception; and it includes an extensive bibliography to jumpstart further study of this remarkable Renaissance painter.
