Jacopo Pontormo 067 - The Yorck Project Masterpieces of Painting

Jacopo Pontormo (1494–1557) was an Italian painter, representative of the Florentine school, one of the founders of Mannerism. At the age of ten, left without a father, Pontormo went to Florence, where he spent his whole life. He studied with Piero di Cosimo and Andrea del Sarto. The early works are influenced by Leonardo da Vinci and the Variety. Later, his acquaintance with Durer's engravings had a great influence on his work.
