Éternel Tintoret — Musée Jacquemart-André — Exhibition — Slash Paris

In 5 days: September 11, 2026 → January 24, 2027

From September 11, 2026, to January 24, 2027, the Musée Jacquemart André presents an exhibition dedicated to Jacomo Robusti, known as Tintoretto (1518/1519–1594), one of the leading figures of the Italian Renaissance. The first major retrospective devoted to the artist in France, it highlights the full scope of his career as well as the lasting influence of his work, whose legacy extends as far as nineteenth century French painting.

Bringing together around forty paintings and works on paper from French and international collections, the exhibition reveals the richness of an artist whose creativity already fascinated his contemporaries. Vasari described him as “the most formidable mind that painting has ever known,” praising the boldness of his compositions, his dramatic perspectives, his striking effects of light, and the vitality of his brushwork.

Born and active in Venice, Tintoretto established his reputation in the 1540s with major works such as The Miracle of the Slave (1548). At the head of a large workshop, he became one of the principal painters of the Venetian Republic, creating monumental decorative cycles for the Doge’s Palace and the Scuola Grande di San Rocco.

The exhibition also emphasizes the originality of his artistic language, born from a synthesis between Michelangelo’s powerful draftsmanship and Titian’s Venetian use of color. Masterpieces such as The Miracle of Saint Augustine and The Trinity demonstrate his ability to reinvent religious subjects and bring the art of the Venetian Renaissance to its highest achievement.
