Tintoretto grew to manhood when the fruit of the Renaissance
was ripe on every bough. The Renaissance had resulted in the emancipation of the
individual, in making him feel that the universe had no other purpose than his
happiness. This brought an entirely new answer to the question,oil painting for sale, "Why should I do
this or that?" It used to be, "Because self-instituted authority commands you."
The answer now was, "Because it is good for men." In this lies our greatest debt
to the Renaissance, that it instituted the welfare of man as the end of all
action. The Renaissance did not bring this idea to practical issue,original oil paintings, but our debt
to it is endless on account of the results the idea has produced in our own
days. This alone would have made the Renaissance a period of peculiar interest,
even if it had had no art whatever. But when ideas are fresh and strong, they
are almost sure to find artistic embodiment, as indeed this whole epoch found in
painting, and this particular period in the works of Tintoretto. art oil paintings online
