How Jacopo Tintoretto worked

From the record of their own practice.

Tintoretto's style of painting is characterised by bold brushwork and the use of long strokes to define contours and highlights. His paintings emphasise the energy of human bodies in motion and often exploit extreme foreshortening and perspective effects to heighten the drama. Narrative content is conveyed by the gestures and dynamism of the figures rather than by facial expressions. An agreement is extant showing a plan to finish two historical paintings, each containing twenty figures, seven being portraits, in a two-month period of time. Sebastiano del Piombo remarked that Tintoretto could paint in two days as much as himself in two years; Annibale Carracci that Tintoretto was in many of his pictures equal to Titian, in others inferior to Tintoretto.
