The Life of TintorettoTintoretto, an independent professional artist, known for his captivating religious paintings. His art was highly regarded in the 16th century and will be remembered for many years to come. Tintoretto resided in Venice, Italy around 1518. Not much is known about Tintoretto's early life (it wasn't really recorded then, but we know the little things). Tintoretto is actually a nickname given to the artist, his real name was Jacopo Robusti. He took the name Tintoretto from his father, who was a dyer by profession. Tintoretto was born to be a painter, as a child he covered walls with dye. His father noticed that he had a skill, so he took him with him to a studio owned by a master painter named Tintian to see how long he would train as an artist. Titian would not be a friend of Tintoretto, said Titian, "he could be a professional artist but not his pupil". Tintoretto was able to see Titian's paintings and see what his other works were. Since not much is known, we know that he was well aware of what he was doing and what he wanted to do, and that was to become a painter. He was very fond of the works of art of Venice and liked the work of Michelangelo. Tintoretto had tried to combine the work of Michelangelo and the artwork of Titian. Tintoretto Crescendo worked independently on his works of art. He became a professional artist in 1539. Tintoretto was well known in Italy as a Venetian painter, one of the best known artists even at that time. When he painted he used oil paint and very dynamic colors. Tintoretto received commissions for church altarpieces, civil buildings and portraits of Venetian nobles and statesmen. One thing that makes tintoretto unique is that even... halfway through the paper... the quality was already being made by people from Rome, Florence and other big cities. This didn't change the ways of the city and other improvements, it changed things like people's ideas and the way they think about things. Commissions from private roots, churches and institutions came into play. There was an unrivaled quantity of painters in Venice, so there was a sense of harmony in sharing commissions. Tintoretto received a good share of commissions centered around 1570 and beyond. On 31 May 1594 Tintoretto died. He and his wife had eight children, three of whom trained with their father to carry on his artistic legacy. This is a part of Tintoretto's art Featured in churches.
