Nicolò DoriaTintoretto

Tintoretto’s portrait (c. 1545) depicts a prominent Genoese figure born around 1525. Doria, from a noble family, was influential in military and political spheres. The full-length format highlights his formal attire and sword, symbolizing his role in Genoa’s affairs. Tintoretto’s rapid, bold style, which earned him the nickname Il Furioso, is evident in this oil on canvas.
