Jan 2, 2024 · Mannerist painter Pontormo was admired by both Michelangelo and Raphael. His luminous work is truly magnificent, so why is he so neglected?
Pontormo was a major Florentine painter of the 16th century, and the main exponent of an early, expressive form of Mannerism. His name was Jacopo Carucci, but he is called after his birthplace, a village in Tuscany.
Jacopo Carucci, called Pontormo after the Tuscan town from which he came, was one of the leaders of the Mannerist movement, but as Mannerism increasingly focused on masks and artificiality, there was little room for his keen sensitivity and profound feeling for human states of mind.
