From 11 September 2026 to 24 January 2027, the Musée Jacquemart-André is showcasing the work of one of the leading figures of Italian Mannerism, Jacomo Robusti, known as Tintoretto (1518/19–1594). This exhibition presents, for the first time in France, a comprehensive overview of Tintoretto’s entire career and demonstrates how his artistic legacy has transcended temporal and geographic boundaries, establishing him as a key influence on 19th-century French painting.

A complex artist who defies categorisation, Tintoretto produced a body of work that is admired and controversial in equal measure, characterised by bold compositions,

dizzying perspectives, spectacular lighting effects and rapid, bold brushstrokes – the famous prestezza.

Combining the sculptural drawing (disegno) of the Tuscan masters — particularly that of Michelangelo, who fascinated him — and the Venetian colorito of Titian, his rival, he brought the Renaissance in Venice to its zenith.

Bringing together some forty paintings and graphic works from public and private collections in France, Italy and elsewhere, the exhibition allows visitors to appreciate the diversity and scope of Tintoretto’s oeuvre through a number of key themes.
