Tintoretto

“The passage to the light effected by Tintoretto indicates the voyage of the spirit that returns to itself, that abandons the healthful objectivity of things and the physical nature of the world itself to plunge into the dizzying abysses of inner psychological subjectivity” (D. Formaggio).
Aimed at informed but non-specialized readers, this book offers a monographic summary of the life and work of Tintoretto.
The short introduction examines the circumstances that led to the emergence and evolution of the artist’s personality. This is followed by a veritable “guided tour” through an imaginary museum of his masterpieces, splendidly illustrated, with complete descriptive captions.
A small anthology of critical and documentary writings and an essential bibliography make the books in this series up-to-date tools for students and art lovers alike.
