Tintoretto (Library of Great Painters) (English and Italian Edition) Details
From Library Journal Tintoretto refused to emulate the venerated Titian, and his paintings were at first derided by his contemporaries. Vasari, ordinarily a defender of mannerism, accused him of being ``capricious,'' and some thought Tintoretto was possessed by demons. Eventually, however, the unrestrained theatricality was accepted; his expressive rendering of biblical subjects dramatized perfectly the message of the Counter Reformation. The authors, eminent Venetian scholars, consider Tintoretto the most innovative of the Venetian mannerist painters. This thorough, readable study is a good addition to the literature on Tintoretto, little of which is in English. The plates are first-rate, but as in other volumes in this series, hand-tipped and easily removable. Eleanor Riley, Getty Conservation Inst.

Reviews
One of history's absolute greatest artists. Work of incredible complexity and unequaled drama. His sense of space rivals anything that can now be done in cinema and cgi. Of artists who even approach him, I can only think of Caravaggio and Jack Kirby. If you admire either of them, see the work of their greatest ancestor.
