"The most fearsome brain painting has ever known” thus did Giorgio Vasari describe the man first to succeed, in proud, powerful Venice at the height of the sixteenth century, in escaping the myth of Titian, presenting painting that, avoiding the lagoon’s customary cannons of beauty, was marked by a strong, clear realism, forming the basis of art for future generations of artists. Dramatic tension, Michelangeloesque fury, attention to scenographic aspects and to theatrical and architectural elements, with a formidable capacity for assimilating the new and the ideas of his great contemporaries: Tintoretto created a form of painting characterised by brushwork and exasperated emphasis on colour in order to narrate every aspect of human misery with sympathetic emotion, aiming at expressivity that, in the circa one hundred portraits that he painted, became a search for truth capable of crossing the physiognomic and psychological characterisation of the sitters themselves. A masterful Tintoretto, interpreter of the Venetian imagination celebrating its splendour and history in the decorations of the Doge’s Palace, in the churches and scuole , arriving at the Passion cycle for the Scuola Grande di San Rocco, one of the greatest pictorial, intellectual, religious and human ventures in the history of world art. The life’s masterpiece of a man capable of bringing together "the disegno of Michelangelo and the colorito of Titian".
