Description and Table of Contents

Description

Jacopo Tintoretto is one of the most famous 16th-cenury Venetian painters alongside Titian and Veronese. His "Gonzaga Cycle" is in the Alte Pinakothek (Munich). It was Duke Guglielmo Gonzaga who commissioned Tintoretto to paint a series of eight paintings for two rooms in the Palazzo Ducale at Mantova. This text features an analysis of the finished paintings as compared to radiographic images, thus providing insights into Tintoretto's method and allowing for assessment of the complete cycle. With articles about aspects of the cycle's history, iconography, style and technique, this monograph and its critical catalogue should make a contribution to extending the knowledge of Tintoretto and the "Gonzaga Cycle".
