Where was the famous painter Tintoretto born?

Jacopo Robusti, known by some as Jacopo Comin, called Tintoretto (Venice, September or October 1518 – Venice, May 31, 1594), was an Italian painter, a citizen of the Republic of Venice, and one of the greatest exponents of Venetian painting and Mannerist art in general.

The nickname "Tintoretto" came from his father's trade, a silk dyer. For his phenomenal energy in painting, he was nicknamed "The Furious" or "The Terrible," as Vasari described him due to his strong character and his dramatic use of perspective and light, which led to his being considered a precursor of Baroque art.

His date of birth is uncertain. The baptismal certificate was lost in the fire in the San Polo archives, so it can be deduced from the death certificate: "May 31, 1594: death of Sir Jacopo Robusti called Tintoretto aged 75 years and 8 months": this dates it back to September/October 1518. According to Krischel, however, he was born in 1519, probably in April or May, as the scholar deduces from the parish and health office registers.
