Despite Tintoretto's skill in depicting people magnificently alive, he
was really not so good with wildlife, as this 'Creation of the Animals'
(1550-1553) reveals.
Most of the creatures (including household animals
such as cats) are really poorly depicted; but I can forgive the artist his
failings on account of the dynamic portrayal of the Creator and – more
importantly – for including a unicorn in his vision of Eden!
