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, and was made public on the occasion of the retrospective of Tintoretto at the Prado in 2007. Comin translates to the spice
cumin in the local language.
