How can you use “tintoretto” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Local master artist Tintoretto (1518–1594) won a competition to create for the hall some 50 paintings (the largest collection of his work anywhere) over a period of 23 years, a series comparable in grandeur to Giotto’s frescoes in Padua’s Scrovegni Chapel or Florence’s Brancacci chapel by Masaccio.
One of Tintoretto’s best, the Marriage at Cana, is on the wall opposite the entrance, while three of Titian’s most vivid canvases decorate the chancel: Cain and Abel, Abraham Sacrificing Isaac, and David and Goliath, their drama heightened by the perspective di sotto in su (looking up from below).
Look out for Veronese’s Rape of Europa and Tintoretto’s Bacchus and Ariadne and Vulcan’s Forge in the Anticollegio; a masterly allegorical series by Veronese glorifying Venice in the Sala del Collegio, where foreign ambassadors were received; and weapons and suits of armor in the Armory (Sala d’Armi).
Titian’s Pietà, a vibrant last work completed by pupil Palma il Giovane, was originally intended for his tomb in the Frari church (see page 131); Veronese’s Feast in the House of Levi was meant to be the Last Supper, until the Holy Inquisition complained about its “buffoons, drunkards, dwarfs, Germans, and similar vulgarities”; Tintoretto gives full play to his dark sense of drama in the Miracle of St. Mark.
Among the highlights: two paintings by Giovanni Bellini of the Madonna and Child and a highly personal Pietà; Veronese’s Jesus in the Garden; Tintoretto’s dramatic Discovery of St. Mark’s Body; and an impressive Christ at the Column by Donato Bramante.
