CAM Presents: Jacopo Tintoretto's Achievement

In the second half of the sixteenth century, Jacopo Tintoretto (1518-1594) was simultaneously Venice’s most admired and most controversial painter. Yearning to cover every wall in his hometown, he employed underhanded tactics to gain commissions and thwart competitors. His innovative painting technique 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.
