Jacomo Tintoretto & His Sons
This book is an attempt to illuminate a life - or rather, many lives: that of Jacomo Tintoretto, the 'most terrible brain that painting ever had', of Marietta, his favourite, and his other children, of his father, his young wife Faustina, his renegade grandchildren, and an entire city, Venice. And it is a book 'written his way: violating perspective and all hierarchical distinctions between genres and styles, between margin and centre, detail and essence, time and space. Rummaging through the darkness of the centuries between us, neglecting nothing. Sometimes dropping a trickle of light where it would seem there is nothing to see. Tintoretto, after all, did the same. With an extraordinary blend of narrative wisdom and historical documentation gathered over more than ten years of research, Melania Mazzucco has written the first important biography ever to appear in Italy of an immense, restless, very modern painter.
