Organized in conjunction with the exhibition Drawing in Tintoretto’s Venice, this symposium will feature presentations from an international group of experts. Papers will explore different practical and theoretical aspects of drawings by Tintoretto and his contemporaries in Renaissance Venice, including the role of life drawing and questions of naturalism, the use of underdrawing in Tintoretto’s paintings, and the influence of Tintoretto’s work on his contemporaries.
