Drawing in Tintoretto’s Venice Details

Review "An in-depth examination of the drawing practice of the monumental Venetian painter Jacopo Tintoretto." (The New York Times Book Review)"Students, scholars, and art lovers—and especially young curators—should see Drawing in Tintoretto’s Venice ... It is a lovely, bracing primer in how to do an exhibition: perfectly sized ... it shows gorgeous, rarely seen objects, makes its fresh, overarching point early, delivers the evidence in an elegant narrative, and its tangents are both relevant and provocative."  (The Art Newspaper)"Drawing in Tintoretto’s Venice explores the draftsmanship of this son of a dyer — tintore — in comparison to works by Titian, Veronese, Bassano, and others." (Spectator USA)"Splendid ... very attractive catalogue ... absorbing essays." (Apollo)"Scholarly yet eminently readable monograph ... insightful discussions and comparisons ... much further reaching than a mere study of Tintoretto's own drawing, illustrating his significant impact on Venetian art of his time and beyond." (Art Quarterly) Read more About the Author John Marciari is Charles W. Engelhard Curator and Head of the Department of Drawings and Prints at the Morgan Library & Museum, New York. Read more
