Jacopo Tintoretto | Old Master Paintings | October 2016
The Battle between the Philistines and the Israelites by Jacopo Tintoretto appears to be previously unpublished and it is therefore a spectacular and important addition to the oeuvre of Jacopo Robusti, il Tintoretto. The present picture shows a battle, described in violently agitated terms, seemingly fractured into multiple episodes of death and salvation. The work was one of the highlights of the old master paintings sale at Dorotheum on October 18, 2016.
