Jacopo Carucci, known as Pontormo (1494–1557), was the leading painter in mid sixteenth-century Florence and one of the most original and extraordinary Mannerist artists.

Nella fase di passaggio al nuovo secolo sono state indagate le principali direttrici che segnarono la svolta dei suoi contatti con l’esterno: dai rap...
