Discover the Masterpiece of Mannerism
Jacopo Carucci, also known as Pontormo, was an Italian Mannerist painter and portraitist from the Florentine School. His work represents a profound stylistic shift from the calm perspectival regularity that characterized the art of the Florentine Renaissance. The Visitation is one of his most famous works, showcasing his unique style and mastery of the Mannerism movement.
A Profound Stylistic Shift
Pontormo's elongated "floating" figures hinted at a new dawning for Italian art that would see it move towards a less naturalistic, more expressive, style. The Visitation is a perfect example of this shift, with its twining poses and ambiguous perspectives. Pontormo was influenced by the art of northern Europe, specifically Albrecht Dürer's woodcuts and Lucas van Leyden's engravings. This influence can be seen in the rhythmic quality of the painting.
A Masterpiece of Mannerism
The Visitation is a masterpiece of Mannerism, a style characterized by its departure from the High Renaissance ideals of harmony and balance. Pontormo's use of twisting poses, coupled with ambiguous perspectives, creates a sense of tension and drama that is unique to this style. The painting depicts the encounter between Mary and Elizabeth, as described in the Gospel of Luke.
