Venice's Gallerie dell'Accademia will host a major exhibition on the young Tintoretto

The young Tintoretto will be featured in a major exhibition at the Gallerie dell’Accademia in Venice from September 7, 2018 to January 6, 2019.

Through about sixty works, visitors will delve into the first decade of the Venetian painter’s artistic activity, that is, from 1538, when an independent activity in San Geremia is documented, to 1548, when he achieved great success for his first work of public engagement, the Miracle of the Slave, for the Scuola Grande di San Marco.

Twenty-six paintings by Tintoretto will be on display, alongside works from the Galleries’ permanent collection and loans from the Louvre, the National Gallery in Washington, the Prado, the Uffizi, the Galleria Borghese, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, 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 the masterpieces featured will be the Conversion of St. Paul from the National Gallery in Washington, theApollo and Marsyas from Hartford, Christ among the Doctors from the Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo in Milan, the Supper at Emmaus from Budapest, and ceilings from the Palazzo Pisani in Venice, now at the Gallerie Estensi in Modena.

The exhibition will be divided into four sections that will analyze the period of the artist’s training, linked to the Venetian cultural and artistic context, the influences he received from Titian, Pordenone, Paris Bordon, Giorgio Vasari, Jacopo Sansovino, Bonifacio de’ Pitati, and Francesco Salviati, and the works of artists contemporary to Tintoretto who frequented the same environment, such as Andrea Schiavone, Giuseppe Porta Salviati, Lambert Sustris and Bartolomeo Ammannati.

The exhibition is curated by Roberta Battaglia, Paola Marini, and Vittoria Romani.
