Tintoretto Tintoretto Tintoretto (; born Jacopo Comin, late September or early October, 1518 – May 31, 1594) was an Italian painter and a notable exponent of the Venetian school. The speed with which he painted, and the unprecedented boldness of his brushwork, were both admired and criticized by his contemporaries. For his phenomenal energy in painting he was termed Il Furioso. His work is characterised by his muscular figures, dramatic gestures and bold use of perspective, in the Mannerist style. In his youth, Tintoretto was also known as Jacopo Robusti as his father had defended the gates of Padua in a
Jacopo Vignali and at the Villa di Poggio Imperiale. Among his pupils were Domenico Bettini, Romolo Panfi, Alessandro Rosi, and Carlo Dolci.

He painted the ceiling fresco of the "Love of the Fatherland" and "Jacob's dream" for the Casa Buonarroti in Florence. In 1616 he entered the Accademia del Disegno in Florence. In the 1620s, he painted the "Investiture of St Benedict" for the "Confraternità di San Benedetto Bianco".
