text_original: TO TINTORETTO IN VENICE _The Art of Painting had in the Primitive years looked with the light_, _not towards it_. _Before Tintoretto's date_, _however_, _many painters practised shadows and lights_, _and turned more or less sunwards_; _but he set the figure between himself and a full sun_. _His work is to be known in Venice by the splendid trick of an occluded sun and a shadow thrown straight at the spectator_.
