In th e second half of the sixteenth century\, Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594) wa s simultaneously Venice’s most admired and most controversial painter. Ye arning to cover every wall in his hometown\, he employed underhanded tact ics to gain commissions and thwart competitors. His innovative painting t echnique created pictures that appeared unfinished to contemporaries but is regarded today as a key development in oil-on-canvas painting. Taking advantage of the special exhibition Tintoretto’s Genesis\, this lecture offers an insider’s view of Tintoretto’ s considerable skills as a painter—and as a storyteller.
