Moments of Tintoretto
Tintoretto was a pupil of Titian, who influenced him decisively on the theme of color and light (which is typically Venetian). Michelangelo influenced his line and drawing greatly.
We can observe how he gives his work spectacularity and drama, and how this drama is emphasized with the use of difficult perspectives and lighting. We can also appreciate the chiaroscuro of his last works. This "theatricality" that he achieves in his scenes makes him a precursor of the Baroque (a period that began a few years after his death).
