{"product_id":"tintoretto-tradition-and-identity","title":"Tintoretto: Tradition and Identity","description":"\u003cp\u003eJacopo Tintoretto (151894) is an ambiguous figure in the history of art. His radically unorthodox paintings are not readily classifiable  and although he was a Venetian by birth  his standing as a member of the Venetian school is constantly contested. But he was also a formidable maverick  abandoning the humanist narratives and sensuous color palette typical of the great Venetian master  Titian  in favor of a renewed concentration on core Christian subjects painted in a rough and abbreviated chiaroscuro style.  This generously illustrated book offers an extensive analysis of Tintorettos greatest paintings  charting his life and work in the context of Venetian art and the culture of the Cinquecento. Tom Nichols shows that Tintoretto was an extraordinarily innovative artist who created a new manner of painting  which  for all of its originality and sophistication  was still able to appeal to the shared emotions of the widest possible audience. This compact  pocket edition features sixteen additional illustrations and a new afterword by the author  and it will continue to be one of the definitive treatments of this once grossly overlooked master.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44985264865333,"sku":"ByrdShop_1780234503","price":52.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781780234502.jpg?v=1770854574","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tintoretto-tradition-and-identity","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
