Until January 24th, 2027, the Musée Jacquemart-André is celebrating Tintoretto, one of the great masters of the Venetian Renaissance. Artcurial is a patron of this exhibition, continuing its commitment to supporting culture. 

For the first time in France, an exceptional exhibition traces the entire career of Jacopo Robusti, known as Tintoretto (1518/19–1594), and reveals the considerable influence of his work on 19th-century French painting. 

Artist defying categorisation, Tintoretto established himself in Venice in the late 1540s through his bold compositions, dizzying perspectives, spectacular lighting effects, and the vivacity of his brushwork: his famous prestezza. Bridging the gap between Michelangelo’s disegno and Titian’s Venetian colorito, he developed a deeply personal pictorial language that made him one of the major figures of 16th-century painting.

Bringing together around forty paintings and works on paper from public and private collections in France, Italy, and elsewhere, the exhibition offers a journey through the various facets of Tintoretto’s oeuvre. Large-scale religious and mythological compositions, such as Le Miracle de saint Augustin (1547–1549, Palazzo Chiericati, Vicenza), alongside portraits and drawings, attest to the extraordinary diversity of his output and his ability to revitalize traditional sacred subjects through a dramatic, inventive, and modern interpretation. 

The exhibition also highlights the importance of drawing in Tintoretto’s practice, through a selection of studies and autograph sheets, as well as the distinctive nature of his portraits, characterized by their psychological intensity and formal modernity.
