This week I've been mainly reading, no. 203.
Tom Nichols' book Tintoretto, Tradition & Identity (1999) balances off a art historical consideration of his major commissions, alongside his more obscure work in Venice with an interesting account of his business practices (discounting & fast delivery) that set him against painters like Titian & Veronese. Its a interesting insight into the emergence of the entrepreneurial painter & makes the case Tintoretto was an early 'modern'!
