Pontormo

Also known as Jacopo da Pontormo, Giacomo Da Pontormo, Iacopo da Pontormo, Carrucci Pontormo, Jacopo Carucci Pontormo, Jacques Pontormo, Jacopo, Iacopo da Puntormo

Jacopo Carucci or Carrucci (; May 24, 1494 – January 2, 1557), usually known as Jacopo (da) Pontormo or simply 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. He is famous for his use of twining poses, coupled with ambiguous perspective; his figures often seem to float in an uncertain environment, unhampered by the forces of gravity.
