"In the smaller centers of northern Italy a Late Mannerist style prevailed practically throughout the first half of the seventeenth century.  This was primarily due to the influential position of Venice, where the leading roles were played by three eclectic artists, namely Jacopo Negretti, called Palma Giovane, Domenico Tintoretto, and Alessandro Varotari, called Padovanino.  Domenico Tintoretto continued his father's manner with a strong dash of Bassani influence; Padovanino in his better pictures tried not unsuccessfully to recapture something of the spirit of Titian's early period; Palma Giovane, basing himself on a mixture of the late Titian and Tintoretto, was the most fertile and sought-after but at the same time the most monotonous of the three."
