 Pontormo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacopo Carucci (May 24, 1494 — January 2, 1557), usually known as Jacopo da Pontormo, Jacopo Pontormo or simply Pontormo, was a Florentine Mannerist painter and portraitist given to contorted poses, distorted perspective and peculiar, markedly unnatural colors, which appear to mirror his restless, neurotic temperament.
Jacopo Carucci was born at Pontormo, near Empoli.
An example of Pontormo's early style is The Visitation of the Virgin and St Anne, with its dancelike, balanced figures, painted from 1514 to 1516 for the parish church of St. Michele in Carmignano, a few miles from Florence.

 Biography
Pontormo was the son of Bartolommeo Carrucci, a painter.
The emotional tension apparent in his work reaches its peak in Pontormo's masterpiece, the altarpiece of the Entombment (c.1526-8) in the Capponi Chapel of Santa Felicità, Florence.
A diary survives from 1554 to 1557, but the important frescoes in San Lorenzo on which he worked during the last decade of his life are now known only from drawings (best represented in the Uffizi); in these the influence of Michelangelo is apparent.

Jacopo therefore sought to endow his figures withthe expressions, vigour and variety possessed by those of Albert, andthus lost the natural sweetness and grace of his first manner byexchanging it for the German style, so that, though his later worksare beautiful, his figures lack their former excellence and ace.
Tn his works in thechapel Jacopo appears to have returned to this first manner, but notin the picture, as he devised a novelty, executing it in such levelcoloiiring that it is hard to distinguish the lights from thehalf-tints, and the half-tints from the shadows.
Jacopo was delighted, because of the importance of the work, hebeing well advanced in years and feeling that he had such anopportunity to display his talents.

 Pontormo
These Saints mark a fundamental moment in Pontormo's, artistic development and show that his work was already completely Mannerist in style, following his early period of training which was spent in the workshop of Fra' Bartolomeo and Andrea del Sarto.
The figures are at this point unmistakeably his, with formal detail prevailing over the quality of the content: this is noticeable in the St. John the Evangelist, portrayed in a twisted position, the body turning from the tip of the left foot up to the head which is inclined in a parallel but opposite direction.
Restored again between 1980 and 1986 (when various analyses of the drawings on the back were carried out), "Pontormo's Saints" are today preserved in their original location, near the right-hand transept of the parish church of San Michele, an extremely ancient church which can be found mentioned in the "parish" records of Empoli from 1192.

 Pontormo (Getty Museum)
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.
This quality is unmistakable in the elegant Portrait of a Halberdier, which shows Pontormo introducing an insightful new dimension of meaning to portraiture, expressing the sitter's public image while suggesting his inner life.
A painter's son, the young Jacopo was immersed in High Renaissance values as apprentice to Leonardo da Vinci and others in Florence.
