"Tarquin and Lucretia," Tintoretto, 1578-80.
Born Jacopo Robusti, Tintoretto (1518-1594) was a prominent Renaissance painter, whose use of muscular figures, dramatic poses, and unusual perspectives made him an icon of the Mannerist style. He was also known for his speed of painting, his bold brushwork, and the sheer high energy of his process, which led to him being nicknamed "Il Furioso." He's still revered and studied today.
The story of Tarquin and Lucretia is semilegendary....while we think we know some of the folks involved were real, we're unsure of the details. Sextus Tarquinius, a son of the last king of Rome, Lucius Tarquinius Superbus, lusted for Lucretia, a virtuous wife of an official in a nearby town. He threatened to kill her and a slave, put them together, and tell her husband that Tarquin had defended his honor when he caught them together. Lucretia, after some struggle, submitted to his embrace....but then as soon as he left, she sent word to her husband and committed suicide to defend her family's honor. (Yeah, that sounds icky to me too.)
The story was a favorite of many artists, and has been depicted countless times.

It's years since I've been to Rome, and seeing this post has convinced me that I must return there.

There is something fabulous and I would almost say superb in this Presentation of Jesus in the Temple, by Tintoretto, in the bright red color of the Virgin's skirt, in the perspective from which we see her (we below, she above), in the emptiness that surrounds her, in her absolute leadership.
She is the flame and the fire.
Jacopo Tintoretto, Presentation of Jesus in the Temple (hac. 1555). Gallerie della Accademia. Venezia.

6/ But it was his skill in #portrait #painting that caught the eye. Like #Titian and #Tintoretto he used colour to convey the character and emotion of his sitters, he daubed rather than blended his oils to heighten the drama.
A friend and fellow #Artist wrote to his patron Alessandro Farnese introducing the erudite #Greek.
Impressed, Alessandro sent El Greco an invitation. He accepted and left #Venice for #Rome. A new chapter dawned.
On the way he called in at Palma.
