The Origin of the Milky Way
Jacopo Robusti
Tintoretto was an Italian Renaissance painter known for his dramatic use of light and bold compositions. A master of both religious and mythological subjects, his work combined the grandiosity of Venetian painting with a sense of movement and emotion, making him one of the most influential artists of his time.
Jacopo Robusti created The Origin of the Milky Way in 1575. It is now part of the collection at National Gallery (London) in United Kingdom.
