　　Who was Tintoretto?

　　Tintoretto was an Italian artist who worked during the 16th century.He is considered to be among the great Renaissance artists of Italy，and examples of his works hang in several major museums.Since Tintoretto also worked on frescoes (壁画)，it is also possible to visit his artworks in various churches.He had a different energetic style which the public didn't quite accept at that time.

　　Tintoretto was born Jacopo Comin，but he quickly got the Italian nickname “Tintoretto” as a child because his father was a dyer (染工)．Even as a young child，he began to show great artistic skill.He learned from Titian briefly，another well­known artist of the period.However，Tintoretto expressed a mind of his own，and Titian fired him because of his independence，although Titian recognized his potential as an artist.

　　In the early stages of his career，Tintoretto closely studied the works of other painters，and he also mastered the art of modeling.Many of Tintoretto's works are vast in scale，with large numbers of people，and modeling no doubt helped him with this.

　　Considering that Tintoretto had no formal training，the quality of his works is incredible.He produced a

　　huge body of works including numerous large scale pieces.His painting Paradise in the year 1588 is believed to be the largest painting on canvas in the world，measuring 72 feet (22 meters)by 22 feet (7 meters)．
