Tintoretto

I want to say something obscure to make me look smart, like a Tintoretto painting.

Some years later, though, he did concede that, compared to fresh art horrors coming to his attention, “Christo is Tintoretto.”

But by the time Tintoretto was twenty-six his talent was becoming recognised; he had painted the two altarpieces for SS.

Like all great painters Tintoretto had little use for drawings.
