jacopo pontormo
Jacopo Pontormo was a 16th-century Florentine painter and one of the key figures of the Mannerist movement during the Renaissance. He trained in the workshops of Mariotto Albertinelli, Piero di Cosimo, and Andrea del Sarto, but soon distinguished himself with a highly individual style, breaking away from the classical canons of symmetry and harmony.

When portraying religious subjects, Jacopo Pontormo infused them with striking expressiveness, heightened drama, unconventional proportions, and tense rhythms. These qualities secured his place in history as one of the central figures of Mannerism. Pontormo was also a gifted portraitist, capable of capturing with great subtlety the inner spiritual life of his sitters.
Among Jacopo Pontormo’s most celebrated works are Supper at Emmaus and The Deposition from the Cross. Both astonish viewers with the originality of their compositions and the emotional intensity of their figures. Today, many of the artist’s masterpieces can be seen in leading museums around the world, including the Uffizi Gallery, the Hermitage Museum, and the Getty Museum.
