Jacopo Negretti (1549 – 1628), known as Palma il Giovane, to distinguish him from his great-uncle Jacopo Palma the Elder, was a painter of the Republic of Venice and an important exponent of the Venetian school.

He belonged to a family of artists. He began painting in the footsteps of his father's uncle, Palma the Elder, and his maternal aunt's husband, Bonifacio dei Pitati (known as Bonifacio Veronese).

He was trained at the time of the Venetian school and Roman mannerism, which he learned during the four years of his stay in Rome. He was influenced by Raphael and Tintoretto, made several copies of Titian, his true teacher, with whom he later collaborated, also completing the famous painting The Pietà. The beginning of his artistic production dates back to the year 1565.
