Venice of Tintoretto

Topics: 
The sixteenth century marked the indissoluble link between the individual and fashion, between being and appearing. In a world where the essential was identified through its absolute and preeminent visibility, Venice experienced its maximum
splendour, gathering and reflecting irreducible human expectations, both the most exalted and the most prosaic. Which is why, on the occasion of the five-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Jacopo Tintoretto, and coinciding with the Fondazione
Musei Civici di Venezia major exhibition dedicated to this extraordinary artist, to whom we owe one of the most important chapters in the history of Italian painting, Museo di Palazzo Mocenigo is proposing a plunge into the sixteenth-century universe of
Venice, and more besides. With works of various kinds: prints, drawings, books and accessories related to fashion, all drawn from the heritage of the Foundation, we aim to present in the most effective way the source of inspiration for what
Tintoretto expressed in his paintings, with a very personal and imaginative sensitivity that will give rise to a new material force. The intellectual coordinates on display in the museum’s halls will help to reveal the historical and environmental
context in which Tintoretto conceived his masterpieces, enabling visitors to fully understand atmospheres and implications, moods and meanings.
