MUSEUM CATALOGUE ESSAY
“The Allegory of Vigilance” by Domenico Tintoretto, 50th Anniversary Exhibition of the Birmingham
Museum of Art Kress Collection, Birmingham, Ala. Manuscript completed. This essay on Domenico
connects the painted allegory to those allegories painted by his father Jacopo. In two other instances Jacopo
produced a cycle of female personifications on the Venetian palace facades of Ca’Soranzo and Ca’Gussoni.
This essay reaffirms attribution to Domenico based on new evidence. (forthcoming) Ed. Jeannine O’Grody.
