Tintoretto does that with a bit of elongation to the human forms he makes :)

You knew it was El Greco and not Tintoretto! You are the shrewd one. Hmm.

As to Tintoretto, I like him too, I used one of his paintings in
"Hope" dated Dec 3rd. But alas you gave it the bye !

Well anyway El Greco was the guy who used elongation to convey something. Tintoretto seems to have inspired El Greco.
