Jacopo Robusti (called il Tintoretto).Venetian School, 1518—1594. Born at Venice in 1518, the son of a dyer, frpm which he received the nicknameof Tintoretto. He lived and worked in Venice and his life was uneventful. For a shorttime he was a pupil of Titian, but soon established himself alone. His professed aimwas to unite the colouring of Titian with the drawing of Michael Angelo. Heconstantly studied and copied the works of both these masters, and shewed no less ardour inthe study of anatomy and chiaroscuro. He soon acquired reputation and was employed onmany public works of importance, the greatest of which, the paintings in the Palace of theDoges and the Scuola di San Rocco, still exist. These are wall-paintings of mythologicaland sacred subjects, many of them of gigantic size. His easel pictures are numerous
