Tintoretto

Tintoretto, born Jacopo Robusti in 1518 in Venice, Italy, was a prominent painter of the Renaissance movement. Known for his dynamic compositions and vigorous brushwork, Tintoretto earned the nickname "Il Furioso" for his energetic and dramatic style. He was deeply influenced by the works of Titian and Michelangelo, which is evident in his use of color and muscular figures. One of his most significant contributions to art is the extensive series of paintings he created for the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice, which solidified his reputation as a master of religious narrative. Tintoretto's work had a lasting impact on the development of Baroque art, influencing subsequent generations of artists. He passed away in 1594, leaving behind a legacy that continues to be celebrated for its innovation and emotional intensity.
