Birth - 29 Sept!. 1518, Venezia, Venezia, Italy (in Venice)
Death: 31 May1594

wikipedia!.org
Tintoretto (real name Jacopo Comin; September 29, 1518 - May 31, 1594) was one of the greatest painters of the Venetian school and probably the last great painter of the Italian Renaissance!. In his youth he was also called Jacopo Robusti, as his father had defended the gates of Padua in a rather robust way against the imperial troops!. His real name 'Comin' has only recently been discovered by Miguel Falomir, the curator of the Prado, Madrid!. "Comin" translates to the herb name, Cumin!.
He was born in Venice in 1518, as the eldest of 21 children!. His father, Giovanni, was a dyer, or tintore; hence the son got the nickname of Tintoretto, little dyer, or dyer's boy, which is anglicized as Tintoret!. The family originated from Brescia, in Lombardy, then part of the Republic of Venice!. Older studies gave the Tuscan town of Lucca as the origin of the family!.
