Tintoretto. Miguel Falomir, editor. Museo Nacional del Prado and Paul Holberton Publishing. [pounds sterling]50.00. 400 pages. ISBN 978-1-903470-46-6. This magnificent volume was designed as a catalogue to the exhibition of Tintoretto's works at the Prado earlier this year. However with some 250 colour illustrations and a wide range of learned essays it can easily stand on its own as a work of reference.
The editor, who is head of the Department of French and Italian painting in the Prado, has collected a team of international scholars who describe Tintoretto's life and discuss his work as a painter, his approach to religious art and portraits, his techniques, his Spanish period (especially his work for Philip II) and his relationship with Michelangelo. The essays give readers a sound introduction to the painter's work and to the provocative genius that lay behind it. (P.P.F.)
