In 16th c Venice, Tintoretto, who had almost no formal training, produced work so quickly he was nicknamed Il Furioso.
Without the benefit of an apprentiseship he had to find work by under-cutting prices and delivering faster than his competitors like Titian. He often worked for no fee or just the cost of materials. His work was charcterized by muscular figures and dramatic gestures and movement. By the end of his life he was working for the wealthiest in Venice.Why did he give so much of his work away?
