Tiberio Tinelli (1586 – 22 May 1639) was an Italian painter of the early-Baroque period, active mainly in his native city ofVenice.
He trained withGiovanni Contarini, a pupil of the lateTitian. Tinelli then either worked under or emulatedLeandro Bassano. He was well known for his portraits of aristocracy, merchants, and intellectuals in Venice, whom he often painted in historical dress. His small pictures of historical and mythological subjects were also popular. Some of his pictures found their way into the collection ofLouis XIII, king ofFrance, who knighted him with the order of Michael. He moved later in life inFlorence. Domestic afflictions drove him into a state of despondency, causing him to commit suicide.
