Tintoretto's House
A view of the sixteenth century Venetian home of the Renaissance artist Tinteretto, born Jacobo Robusti (1518–1594), the Fondamenta dei Mori, where he resided from 1574 until his death. Influenced by the work of James McNeill Whistler, Cameron studied the reflections of light and shadow against the ornate architecture of Venetian façades in his etchings of this period.
The set of etchings in Northern Italy, 1894-96, is comprised of twenty-six subjects. Twenty-five sets were published by W.B. Paterson, Glasgow in 1896 in addition to a few seperate impressions. Some impressions vary greatly in the amount of ink left on unworked surfaces. This etching is number 6 in the North Italian set.
