Here is the exhibition on the young Tintoretto in Venice, featuring 60 early masterpieces by the great artist

The exhibition The Young Tintoretto will be held at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice, which, as the title suggests, will be dedicated to the early years of the production of one of the most important artists in the lagoon city, Jacopo Robusti known as Tintoretto (Venice, 1519 - 1594). Running from September 7, 2018 to January 6, 2019, The Young Tintoretto traces, through some sixty works, the first decade of the Venetian painter’s activity, from 1538, the year in which Jacopo Robusti ’s independent activity at San Geremia is documented, to 1548, the date of the resounding success of his first work of public engagement, the Miracle of the Slave, for the Scuola Grande di San Marco, now the pride of the Gallerie dell’Accademia: an exciting journey that reconstructs that extraordinary period of stimuli and experimentation through which Tintoretto profoundly renewed lagoon painting at a time of great change.

Among the works on display will be twenty-six on loan from the world’s most important public and private institutions, including the Louvre in Paris, the National Gallery in Washington, the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the Uffizi in Florence, the Galleria Borghese in Rome, the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, the Fabbrica del Duomo in Milan, the Courtauld Gallery in London, and the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford.

Among Tintoretto’s masterpieces will be the Conversion of St. Paul from the National Gallery of Art in Washington and Hartford’sApollo and Marsyas, now on display for the first time in Italy, Christ among the Doctors from the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo in Milan, the Supper at Emmaus in Budapest, and ceilings from the Palazzo Pisani in Venice, now at the Gallerie Estensi in Modena. Also on view are works by artists who worked in the historical context of the young Tintoretto’s Venice: Giorgio Vasari, Bonifacio de’ Pitati, Francesco Salviati, Jacopo Sansovino and others.
