 glbtq >> arts >> Pontormo, Jacopo
Pontormo is especially known for his innovative handling of formal elements and his complex and ambiguous treatment of subject matter.
Pontormo never referred to his pupils in explicitly sexual terms, and, for that reason, most scholars have insisted that Pontormo cannot be regarded as a "gay" artist.
Pontormo's awareness of the nature of his feelings may have inspired in him the sense of guilt and self-damnation that pervades his diaries.

 Guggenheim Hermitage Museum - Pontormo (Jacopo Carucci)
A painter and draftsman, Jacopo Pontormo was born Jacopo Carucci and was the leading artist in mid-16th-century Florence and one of the most original and extraordinary of the Mannerists.
Pontormo enjoyed the patronage of the de’ Medici family throughout his career but, unlike Agnolo Bronzino and Giorgio Vasari, he did not become a court painter.
In 1508 Pontormo probably studied with Leonardo da Vinci, then with Piero di Cosimo, and in 1510 with Mariotto Albertinelli.

 Pontormo Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Pontormo's first big commission, a fresco, the Visitation (1514), in Saints Annunziata, Florence, was part of a cycle of scenes from the life of Mary to which Andrea also contributed; it was such a success in Andrea's style that it aroused his jealousy.
Pontormo's Visitation presents grandly robed, symmetrically grouped people in a niche, much as Andrea had done in his art, but in a series of small paintings of Joseph in Egypt (1515-1518) Pontormo scattered the figures over the picture surface, whimsically linked by impossible staircases.
Pontormo's last frescoes (1546-1556; destroyed), in St. Lorenzo in Florence, executed with a new style of fluid line, were generally disliked.

 2blowhards.com: Pontormo and Ingres
As I went through it, I was struck less by the similarity between Pontormo's art and that of his contemporaries (e.g., Andre Del Sarto and Agnolo Bronzino) than by the way it seemed to find an echo in the work of J.A.D. Ingres, some 300 years his junior.
Both Ingres and Pontormo were masters of an extremely refined style, and with both painters they caressed the "strings" of style with as much attention, if not more so, than the "music" of their subject matter.
Both Ingres and Pontormo preferred a rather distant and subdued rhetoric in their treatment of subject matter, while again Raphael is far more of a showman, now refined for the royalty in the gallery, now coarse and playing to the crowd.

 Supper at Emmaus by PONTORMO, Jacopo
Pontormo executed the canvas for the Carthusian monastery at Galluzzo where he worked between 1523 and 1527.
The painting depicts the episode in which the now risen Christ, repeating the same act of breaking the bread that he had made during the Last Supper, is about to be recognized by two of his disciples.
Dürer and northern figurative culture in general were also behind the most striking characteristics of the canvas, the close adherence to an everyday reality that has frequently induced authoritive scholars of Pontormo to interpret this extraordinary work as heralding the realistic research of Caravaggio, Velázquez and Zurbarán.

 Il Sole 24 ORE.com - Empoli rende a Pontormo la sua casa natale
L'inquieto Pontormo nacque nel 1494 nell'edificio di due piani in via Pontorme 97 che l'amministrazione comunale di Empoli ha acquisito in occasione del cinquecentenario della nascita dell'artista.
Oggi, dopo i restauri realizzati con finanziamenti comunali per «circa 250 mila euro» l'edificio è destinato a essere «casa d’artista e di luogo della memoria», oltre che sede della Sezione Didattica dei Beni Culturali della città e del Centro di Studi sull’Arte del Cinquecento nella Provincia Toscana.
La casa natale del Pontormo, insieme a queste pale e ai numerosi monumenti di notevole interesse storico-artistico presenti nel territorio di Empoli, costituiscono così un motivo di forte richiamo turistico per la città toscana, restituendo alla frazione di Pontorme il prestigio derivante proprio dal grande artista che vi nacque.

 PONTORMO, Jacopo da,   (Site not responding. Last check: )
He was initially influenced by the calm, balanced High Renaissance styles of Piero di Cosimo and Leonardo da Vinci and of Andrea del Sarto, whom he assisted.
From 1518 on, Pontormo did much work for the Medici, including frescoes for their villa at Poggio and, later, their family church, San Lorenzo.
About 1518 he developed a new Mannerist style, partly inspired by Michelangelo and Albrecht Dürer, marked by elongated forms, heightened emotion, and tension between figures and space.

 Jacopo Pontormo: »Josef i Egypten« (1517/18)
Josef i Egypten er ifølge Vasari det smukkeste af Pontormos værker - et filmisk tableau med flere scener i samme billede, som blander de gammeltestamentlige historier med antikke skulpturer, der skaber yderligere forvirring ved at være græsk-romerske i stedet for egyptiske eller bibelske.
Pontormo til tider en slags protestkunst i forhold til renæssancens hidtidige hovedstrømninger, bemærker idéhistoriker Dorthe Jørgensen: »Nogle af de første manierister skaber decideret protestkunst, som bevidst gør oprør mod den klassiske kanon.
Dette behov for uafhængighed og synlighed kommer til udtryk i Pontormos provokatoriske kamp mod de accepterede regler for proportion, tema, perspektiv og komposition.

 Italian Masterpieces IV: Entombment by Pontormo on Renderosity.com
One of the famous pieces from this time is Pontormo’s "Entombment", which is considered by many to be his greatest surviving masterpiece.
Pontormo’s "Entombment" is a great example of Mannerist painting as a reaction to the High Renaissance.
Though Mannerist artists may not have the fame of their Renaissance counterparts, their paintings are fascinating explorations into the creation of profound and dramatic scenes through the bending and the breaking of the rules of the High Renaissance.

 Jacopo Carrucci, called Pontormo / Christ before Pilate / 1522-1523
This image is one of over 108,000 from the AMICA Library (formerly The Art Museum Image Consortium Library- The AMICO Library™), a growing online collection of high-quality, digital art images from over 20 museums around the world.
Context: This is a preliminary design for 'Christ before Pilate,' one of five lunette frescoes in a Passion cycle Pontormo executed between 1523 and 1526 during his stay at the Certosa del Galluzzo, a Carthusian monastery outside Florence.
In this drawing, Pontormo experimented with a highly unusual illustration of the scene, which he abandoned in the fresco itself, probably one of the first lunettes he painted in the cycle.

 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.
Under the profound influence of his friend Michelangelo, Pontormo, primarily a religious painter, developed more sculptural form and disciplined his emotionalism, retaining poignance.
