丁托列托(1518年～1594年)

Tintoretto，原名Jacopo Robusti。

义大利威尼斯派画家。其父为丝绸染匠；因此得到「丁托列托」（意即小染匠）的绰号。早年受到米开朗基罗和提香的影响。在作品《基督与淫妇》（1545?）中，以奇异多变的透视法把人物置放在巨大的空间里，表现出特殊的矫饰主义。1548年因作品《圣马可拯救奴隶》而吸引了威尼斯文艺界的目光，这幅後米开朗基罗罗马艺术作品的结构成分是如此地丰富，而让人惊叹的是他从未到过罗马。到了1555年，因其作品具有轻快流畅的手法、大量活泼的色彩、偏好富於变化的透视画法和动态的空间概念，使他成为艺术界名画家和後起之秀。其受委制的最重要工作是装饰威尼斯的斯库奥拉.迪圣罗科（1564～1588）的工作，展现其热情的风格和深厚的宗教信仰。他的技术和想像完全源自个人，并不断地发展。现代艺术史学家公认他是风格主义最伟大的代表，按照威尼斯伟大的传统来诠释作品。

Tintoretto

Italian painter active in Venice. His father was a silk dyer (tintore); hence the nickname Tintoretto (“Little Dyer”). His early influences include Michelangelo and Titian. In Christ and the Adulteress (c. 1545) figures are set in vast spaces in fanciful perspectives, in distinctly Mannerist style. In 1548 he became the center of attention of artists and literary men in Venice with his St. Mark Freeing the Slave, so rich in structural elements of post-Michelangelo Roman art that it is surprising to learn that he had never visited Rome. By 1555 he was a famous and sought-after painter, with a style marked by quickness of execution, great vivacity of color, a predilection for variegated perspective, and a dynamic conception of space. In his most important undertaking, the decoration of Venice's Scuola Grande di San Rocco (1564-88), he exhibited his passionate style and profound religious faith. His technique and vision were wholly personal and constantly evolving. Historians of modern art recognize him as the greatest representative of Mannerism, interpreted in accordance with the great tradition of Venice.
