Why did fresco painting influence Tintoretto’s working method?

The fresco technique played a significant role in shaping Tintoretto’s artistic idiom because it instilled in him a sense of speed and efficiency. This requirement for quickness of execution, inherent to the fresco process, became fundamental to his overall manner of painting.1

Early in his career, Tintoretto collaborated with Andrea Meldolla to decorate the Palazzo Zen with frescoes, an experience that helped define his approach to narrative fluency and brushwork. This emphasis on rapid execution allowed him to develop a brisk, energetic style that he later applied to his extensive series of biblical and mythological compositions.1
