John Baptist Jackson (after Jacopo Tintoretto)

John Baptist Jackson was a British painter and printmaker. In Venice, he received the support of British consul Joseph Smith to produce a suite of large chiaroscuro woodcuts reproducing oil paintings by Venetian Renaissance artists Titian, Jacopo Tinteretto, Paulo Veronese, and Jacobo Bassano. Giovanni Battista Pasquali subsequently published this suite of prints in 1745 as a bound volume, now commonly known as Jackson’s “Venetian Set.” “Massacre of the Innocents” reproduces a Tintoretto painting in the Scuola di San Rocco, Venice.
