#### Historical context

Tintoretto (real name Jacopo Robusti, September 29, 1518 - May 31, 1594) - an outstanding Italian painter of the late Renaissance, the last great master of the Venetian school of the 16th century. Born in Venice into the family of a silk dyer (hence the nickname "Tintoretto" - "little dyer"). A student of Titian (briefly), he developed his own turbulent, dynamic style of Mannerism with a characteristic combination of "Michelangelo's drawing and Titian's colors". Among the most famous works: a cycle of over 50 paintings in the Scuola Grande di San Rocco in Venice (1564-1587) - the largest pictorial cycle created by one person; "The Last Supper" (1592-1594) in San Giorgio Maggiore; "The Miracle of St. Mark" (1548). Tintoretto was extremely prolific. His style - dramatic, with sharp contrasts of light and shadow, dynamic compositions - influenced the Baroque (especially El Greco).
