For my Fall 2019 class “Renaissance and Baroque Art History” (ARH 464), I wrote a short research paper about Jacopo Tintoretto, an artist commonly associated with the Mannerist art movement. I argue, however, that speaking of him as a Mannerist is inaccurate to his actually artistic style. I posit that he has much more in common with Counter-Reformation Baroque artists, using dynamic compositions to elicit emotional responses from viewers that cause them to sympathize with the Catholic Church. The essay can be read below.
