Pontormo
Jacopo Carrucci, 1494–1556
Pontormo was a Jacopo Carrucci Mannerism painter. 17 works are cataloged here, principally at Uffizi Gallery, most of them oil paintings. Pontormo was born in Empoli.
Jacopo Carucci or Carrucci (IPA:; May 24, 1494 – January 2, 1557), usually known as Jacopo (da) Pontormo or simply Pontormo (IPA: ), was an Italian Mannerist painter and portraitist from the Florentine School. His work represents a profound stylistic shift from the calm perspectival regularity that characterized the art of the Florentine Renaissance. He is famous for his use of twining poses, coupled with ambiguous perspective; his figures often seem to float in an uncertain environment, unhampered by the forces of gravity.
