Marietta Robusti (1560? – 1590) was a Venetian painter of the Renaissance period. She was the daughter of Tintoretto and is sometimes referred to as ''Tintoretta''. ==Biography== The only known primary source for details of Marietta Robusti’s life is Carlo Ridolfi’s ''Life of Tintoretto'', first published in 1642, although she is mentioned briefly in Raffaelo Borghini’s ''Il Riposo della Pitura e della Scultura'' of 1584.〔Eric Newton, ''Tintoretto''. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1952), 62.〕 These two sources disagree on the year of her birth: according to Borghini, she was born in 1555,〔 but Carlo Ridolfi indicates that she was born in 1560.〔Carlo Ridolfi, ''Life of Tintoretto'', trans. Catherine and Robert Enggass (University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1984), 99.〕 Marietta was born and died in Venice, the eldest daughter of the painter Jacopo Robusti, from whom she inherited her nickname, la Tintoretta (translated as "little dyer girl", after Jocopo’s father’s occupation as a ''tintore'', or dyer). She is thus variously known as Marietta Robusti, Marietta Tintoretto, and la Tintoretta. Since conventions of the time dictated that women remained in the privacy of the domestic sphere and were not welcome in the public world of art production and sale, Marietta and her female contemporaries gained access to the art world through their artist fathers or brothers.〔H.T. Niceley, "A Door Ajar: The Professional Position of Women Artists," Art Education 45, no. 2 (Mar., 1992): 6-13.〕 Marietta's artistic training consisted of serving an apprenticeship in the collaborative environment of her father’s workshop, where she probably contributed to her father’s paintings with backgrounds and figure blocking, as was the usual distribution of labor in painting workshops of the time.〔Newton, ''Tintoretto'', 66.〕 Evidence suggests that Marietta received no commissions for major religious works such as altarpieces or other church decorations, and that she was mainly a portraitist.〔Grove Art Online, s.v. “Marietta Robusti.” Available from Grove Art, George Mason University Lib.()(accessed 10 February 2008).〕 Ridolfi describes Marietta’s close relationship with her father at great length. Not only did she learn at his knee, as a child she also liked to dress like a boy so that she could go everywhere with Jacopo. Emperor Maximilian and King Philip II of Spain both expressed interest in hosting her as a court painter, but her father refused their invitations on her behalf because he couldn’t bear to part with her. In 1578 he arranged for her to marry a Venetian jeweler, Mario Augusta, to ensure she would always stay near him. Jacopo also had Marietta instructed in singing and playing the harpsichord, clavichord, and lute. She died of unrecorded causes in 1590, and was buried in Santa Maria dell’Orto in Venice. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marietta Robusti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
