Author: Tintoretto, Jacopo
This exquisite, richly illustrated catalogue documents an exhibition held at Venice’s Museo di Palazzo Grimani, presenting three portraits of the Venetian prelate Giovanni Grimani, a collector of antiquities and patron of important 16th-century artists. The three portraits – one by Domenico Tintoretto, and two his father – bear witness to the iconographic evolution of effigies of the Venetian prelate over the course of several decades, and help to outline a history of Venetian portraits during that period.The first portrait, already in the collection at Palazzo Grimani, is the work of Domenico Tintoretto (1560–1635) and depicts the patriarch in old age in an iconography that can be found in earlier portraits, including the 'Portrait of the Patriarch Giovanni Grimani' in the Schorr Collection (London), and a small oil on panel representing the same subject, now in a private collection, the latter two painted by his father, Jacopo Tintoretto (1518–94).
ISBN 9791254632376. Marsilio Arte. pb. 120 pages. 55 colour ills. 22.2 x 16.5 cm.
