Domenico Tintoretto

Son and pupil of Jacopo Tintoretto, one of the greatest masters of the 16th-century Venetian school. At the age of 17, he became a master of the Venetian painters' guild, participated in the execution of large canvases for the decoration of the Doge's Palace, and worked as an assistant in his father's workshop. Throughout his career, he created religious compositions for Venetian churches and monasteries, as well as numerous portraits. After his father's death in 1594, he headed the family workshop, where his brother Marco, sister Marietta, and the artist Bastian Casser worked. Many of Domenico Tintoretto's works were previously mistakenly attributed to his father. Currently, the master's works are represented in the collections of leading world museums, including those in Washington, Paris, London, St. Petersburg, and Moscow.
