Doge Alvise Mocenigo (1507–1577) Presented to the Redeemer

probably 1577
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 639
Tintoretto’s painting included key features that appealed to El Greco when he arrived in Venice, including dramatic postures set in complex architectural space, loose paint handling and a high-keyed palette. This oil sketch was preparatory for a much larger painting intended for the doge’s palace, a reminder that part of what El Greco experienced for the first time in Venice were canvases of enormous scale. El Greco initially adopted the perspectival structures of such compositions, but soon abandoned these after arriving in Spain.
