Jacopo Robusti (late September or early October 1518 – 31 May 1594), best known as Tintoretto was an Italian Renaissance painter of the Venetian school. His contemporaries both admired and criticised the speed with which he painted and the unprecedented boldness of his brushwork. For his phenomenal energy in painting he was termed               il Furioso (Italian for ‘the Furious’). His work is characterised by muscular figures, dramatic gestures and bold use of perspective, in the Mannerist style.
