Jacopo Tintoretto (1519 ca.-1594) dominated Venetian painting during the second half of the sixteenth century through a unique combination of talent, ambition, energy and imagination. Unlike other great painters of Renaissance Venice, Tintoretto was born in the city and worked there for his entire career. More than any other artist he left his mark on Venice, and his paintings are still found in every one of its neighborhoods. The present book is therefore a catalogue of all his important paintings on public view in the city. Divided by sections corresponding to the Venetian "sestieri", or districts, the volume covers over 120 paintings, including many that have recently received conservation treatment. Entries written by an international team of art historian provide up-to-date information on each picture, covering issues of style, patronage, dating, iconography, conservation, and elation to Tintoretto's oeuvre as a whole.

Eighteenth-Century Studies, 2001
The past two decades have been a watershed for Settecento studies, as a series of groundbreaking exhibitions ushered eighteenth century Italy into the realm of the blockbuster. Naples had its day in 1981-2 (The Golden Age of Naples in Detroit and Chicago), Venice in 1994-5 (The Glory of Venice in London and Washington, D.C.), and the Eternal City in 2000 with The Splendor of Eighteenth-Century Rome in Philadelphia and Houston, reviewed in these pages by Carole Paul (ECS 34.2). While these ambitious, synthetic initiatives have helped mobilize a new generation of scholars and put the field back on the map for the viewing public, they have also made clear how much remains to be done in order to recover a full view of a century and a culture that have too long played second fiddle.
