Drawing in Tintoretto's venice (Relié)

Jacopo Tintoretto (1518/19-1594) was among the most distinctive artists of the Italian Renaissance. Yet, although his bold paintings are immediately recognizable, his drawings remain unfamiliar even to many scholars. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York, and the National Gallery of Art, Washington, Drawing in Tintoretto's Venice offers a complete overview of Tintoretto as a draftsman, illuminating his sources as well as his originality, and exploring the historiographical and critical questions that have framed all previous discussion of Tintoretto's graphic work.
