Jacopo Pontormo, a central figure of the Florentine Mannerist movement, employs a distinct approach to anatomy and spatial arrangement. The figures exhibit the elongated proportions and fluid, serpentine poses characteristic of his style. Mary Magdalene reaches out toward Christ, her body angled in a dynamic, unstable posture that suggests both urgency and hesitation. Christ, meanwhile, pulls away with a graceful, measured movement, holding a small cross as a symbol of his passion.\n\nThe composition avoids the balanced, rational geometry favoured by High Renaissance masters. Instead, Pontormo creates a sense of psychological tension through the interaction of the two figures. The background is sparse, featuring a simplified landscape that directs the viewer's focus entirely to the exchange between the protagonists. The lighting is dramatic, casting deep shadows that model the folds of their garments and define the contours of their forms. The colour palette relies on deep reds, muted greens, and cool grey tones, which contribute to the somber, reflective mood of the scene.\n\nPontormo was a student of Andrea del Sarto and was influenced by the works of Michelangelo, yet he developed a highly individual visual language. His paintings often reject the naturalism of his contemporaries in favour of expressive, sometimes unsettling, emotional states. This panel demonstrates his ability to manipulate form to convey narrative weight without relying on complex architectural settings. The work remains a clear example of the shift toward the subjective and artificial qualities that defined the Mannerist period in Italy. It invites the viewer to observe the subtle interplay of gesture and gaze, which defines the theological significance of the Noli Me Tangere narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172180365647,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172180431183,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172180529487,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172180562255,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172180627791,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232427544911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232427577679,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232427610447,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232427643215,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232427675983,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232427741519,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232427774287,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232427839823,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232427872591,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232428396879,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232428429647,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232428495183,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Noli-Me-Tangere_Poster_CompositorV1_1783471087984.jpg?v=1783566600"},{"product_id":"supper-at-emmaus-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Supper at Emmaus - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking Mannerist depiction of the Supper at Emmaus, featuring the Eye of Providence and the distinctive, atmospheric style of Jacopo Pontormo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJacopo Pontormo painted this work for the Carthusian monastery of Galluzzo near Florence. It depicts the biblical moment when Christ reveals his identity to his disciples through the breaking of bread. The composition is notable for its inclusion of the Eye of Providence within a triangle, a symbol of the Trinity, positioned directly above the head of Christ. This addition reflects the theological concerns of the period.\n\nPontormo employs a distinct approach to light and shadow, which creates a sense of drama and psychological tension. The figures are arranged around a circular table, yet their postures and the surrounding space feel compressed. This spatial ambiguity is a hallmark of the Mannerist style, which often departed from the balanced proportions of the High Renaissance. The colour palette is restrained, focusing on the interplay between the warm tones of the garments and the dark, atmospheric background. The inclusion of two Carthusian monks in their white habits serves as a direct reference to the patrons of the work, grounding the scene in the specific context of the monastery.\n\nUnlike the harmonious arrangements favoured by his predecessors, Pontormo introduces a sense of unease. The gazes of the figures do not always meet, and the gestures appear deliberate and slightly detached. This painting offers a view into the shift in artistic priorities during the sixteenth century, where individual expression and stylistic artifice began to take precedence over naturalistic representation. The work remains a primary example of Pontormo's ability to manipulate space and light to convey a narrative that is both spiritual and deeply personal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172193571151,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172193636687,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172193734991,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172193767759,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172193833295,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232421024079,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232421056847,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232421089615,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232421122383,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232421155151,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232421220687,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232421253455,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232421318991,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232421351759,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232421876047,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232421908815,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232421974351,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Supper-at-Emmaus_Poster_CompositorV1_1783471325270.jpg?v=1783566757"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-cosimo-i-de-medici-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Portrait of Cosimo I de' Medici - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined Mannerist portrait of the young Cosimo I de' Medici, captured with psychological depth and subtle, precise brushwork by Jacopo Pontormo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis portrait depicts Cosimo I de' Medici, the future Grand Duke of Tuscany, at a formative stage in his political career. Painted by Jacopo Pontormo around 1537, the work captures the subject shortly after his accession to power following the assassination of Alessandro de' Medici. Pontormo, a central figure of the Florentine Mannerist style, departs from the balanced naturalism of the High Renaissance to present a more psychological and enigmatic interpretation of his sitter.\n\nCosimo is shown in a three-quarter view, dressed in a dark, sombre doublet that contrasts with the pale, almost translucent quality of his skin. His expression is guarded, reflecting the precarious nature of his early rule. The composition is structured by architectural elements in the background, which provide a sense of depth while maintaining a focus on the figure. The artist employs a refined technique, using subtle gradations of light to model the features of the young ruler. The inclusion of a small book in his hand suggests a cultivated persona, aligning with the humanist ideals expected of a Renaissance prince.\n\nUnlike the more assertive portraits produced by later court painters, this image possesses a quiet intensity. The brushwork is precise, yet the overall effect is one of detachment. Pontormo avoids the idealisation common in state portraiture, choosing instead to convey a sense of internal tension. The muted palette, dominated by deep blacks and earthy tones, directs the viewer's attention to the face of the young Medici. This work remains a primary example of how Mannerist painters manipulated traditional portrait conventions to explore the complexities of identity and authority in sixteenth-century Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172203827535,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172203893071,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172203991375,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172204024143,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172204089679,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232411259215,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232411291983,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232411324751,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232411357519,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232411390287,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232411455823,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232411488591,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232411554127,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232411586895,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232412111183,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232412143951,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232412209487,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Cosimo-I-de-Medici_Poster_CompositorV1_1783471570030.jpg?v=1783567127"},{"product_id":"lamentation-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Lamentation - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA seminal work of Italian Mannerism, this painting depicts the Lamentation with elongated figures, non-naturalistic colours, and a compressed, ethereal composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJacopo Pontormo, a central figure of the Florentine Mannerist movement, created this work for the Capponi Chapel in the church of Santa Felicita, Florence. The composition departs from the balanced, harmonious ideals of the High Renaissance, opting instead for a compressed, vertical arrangement that defies traditional spatial logic. The figures appear to float in an ambiguous, shallow space, their bodies elongated and their expressions marked by a sense of psychological tension.\n\nThe colour palette is notable for its use of acidic, non-naturalistic tones, including pale pinks, light blues, and soft yellows. These hues contribute to the ethereal, almost dreamlike quality of the scene. The central figure of Christ is supported by mourners whose gestures are exaggerated and theatrical, reflecting the emotional intensity characteristic of Pontormo's mature style. The lack of a clear horizon line or architectural anchor forces the viewer to focus on the interplay of limbs and the swirling drapery that connects the figures in a continuous, rhythmic motion.\n\nThis painting is a study in artifice and stylistic departure. Pontormo rejects the anatomical precision of his predecessors, such as Michelangelo, in favour of a more subjective, expressive approach. The figures seem to lack weight, and the absence of a traditional cross or tomb setting further isolates the event from a specific temporal context. By prioritising emotional resonance over physical realism, Pontormo creates a scene that remains one of the most distinct examples of sixteenth-century Italian art. The work continues to be studied for its innovative use of colour and its rejection of the classical order that dominated the preceding decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172143632719,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172452471119,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172452503887,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172452536655,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172452569423,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172452602191,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172452634959,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172452667727,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172452700495,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172452733263,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172452766031,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232400904527,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232400937295,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232400970063,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232401297743,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232401330511,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232401396047,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Lamentation_Poster_CompositorV1_1783471809450.jpg?v=1783567366"},{"product_id":"four-evangelists-saint-luke-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Four Evangelists: Saint Luke - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking tondo painting by Jacopo Pontormo, depicting Saint Luke the Evangelist with characteristic Mannerist tension and expressive colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis circular composition, or tondo, depicts Saint Luke the Evangelist, one of four panels originally commissioned for the Capponi Chapel in the church of Santa Felicita, Florence. Jacopo Pontormo, a central figure of the Florentine Mannerist movement, employs a distinct approach to anatomy and colour that departs from the balanced harmony of the High Renaissance. The figure of Saint Luke is rendered with a sense of psychological tension, his gaze directed upwards and away from the quill he holds in his hand. The composition is tightly framed within the circular format, forcing the viewer to focus on the expressive posture and the interplay of light across the drapery.\n\nPontormo utilises a palette that balances deep, dark shadows with bright, saturated tones, particularly the red of the saint's mantle. The inclusion of the ox, the traditional symbol of Saint Luke, is partially obscured in the background, emerging from the darkness to provide a subtle iconographic anchor. The artist's brushwork is precise, defining the musculature of the arms and the texture of the fabric with clarity. This work demonstrates the shift towards the elongated forms and subjective emotional states that define Pontormo's mature style. The painting remains a significant example of how religious subjects were reinterpreted during the sixteenth century, prioritising individual expression over classical proportion. The work is currently housed in the Capponi Chapel, where it continues to be studied for its technical execution and its role in the development of the Mannerist aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172153987407,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172542845263,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172542878031,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172542910799,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172542943567,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172542976335,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172543009103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172543041871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172543074639,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172543107407,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58172543140175,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232389960015,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232389992783,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232390025551,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232390353231,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232390385999,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232390451535,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Four-Evangelists_-Saint-Luke_Poster_CompositorV1_1783472045574.jpg?v=1783567668"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-maria-salviati-with-giulia-de-medici-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Portrait of Maria Salviati with Giulia de' Medici - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking Mannerist portrait by Jacopo Pontormo, featuring Maria Salviati and Giulia de' Medici in a sombre, controlled composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis work by Jacopo Pontormo depicts Maria Salviati, the daughter of Lucrezia de' Medici, alongside the young Giulia de' Medici. Painted during the height of the Florentine Mannerist period, the composition reflects the artist's characteristic approach to form and psychological tension. Maria Salviati is shown in mourning attire, a choice that aligns with the historical context of the Medici family during this period. Her expression is guarded, and her gaze meets the viewer with a directness that is typical of Pontormo's portraiture.\n\nThe painting is notable for its restrained colour palette, dominated by the deep blacks of the widow's garments and the muted tones of the background. This darkness serves to focus attention on the pale, luminous skin tones of the subjects. The child, Giulia, is positioned in the foreground, her presence providing a contrast to the sombre demeanour of the adult figure. Pontormo employs a smooth application of paint, which minimises visible brushwork and contributes to the porcelain-like quality of the faces.\n\nUnlike the balanced compositions of the High Renaissance, this portrait exhibits the elongated proportions and slightly unsettling spatial relationships associated with Mannerism. The way Maria's hand rests upon the child's shoulder is rendered with a deliberate, almost sculptural precision. The lighting is focused, creating soft shadows that define the features without relying on heavy chiaroscuro. This piece remains a significant example of sixteenth-century Italian portraiture, capturing both the social status of the sitters and the unique stylistic vision of the artist. It is currently held in the collection of the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172611952975,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172612018511,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172612116815,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58172612149583,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58172612215119,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232366039375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232366072143,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232366104911,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232366137679,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232366170447,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232366235983,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232366268751,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232366334287,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232366367055,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232366891343,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232366924111,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232366989647,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Maria-Salviati-with-Giulia-de-Medici_Poster_CompositorV1_1783472769685.jpg?v=1783568961"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-a-musician-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Portrait of a Musician - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA portrait of a musician by the Italian Mannerist painter Jacopo Pontormo, dating to the early sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJacopo Pontormo, a central figure in the Florentine Mannerist movement, executed this portrait during the early stages of his career. The subject is depicted in a three-quarter view, seated with a music book held firmly in his hands. His gaze is directed toward the viewer, creating a direct engagement that is characteristic of Pontormo's portraiture from this period. The composition relies on a dark, atmospheric background that pushes the figure forward, allowing the subtle play of light across the sitter's face and the pages of the music book to define the form.\n\nThe artist employs a restrained palette, dominated by deep browns and blacks, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the sitter's skin and the parchment of the music score. This choice of colour focuses attention on the psychological presence of the subject rather than decorative elements. The sitter wears a dark cap and a simple, high-collared garment, typical of the period's fashion for men of intellectual or artistic standing. The handling of the paint is precise, reflecting the influence of his teacher, Andrea del Sarto, while hinting at the more elongated and expressive style that would define his later works.\n\nThis portrait demonstrates the artist's ability to capture a sense of quiet introspection. The music book serves as an attribute of the sitter's profession or personal interests, a common device in Renaissance portraiture to provide context about the individual's life. The work remains a clear example of the transition from the balanced compositions of the High Renaissance toward the more subjective and emotionally charged aesthetic of the Mannerist era. The panel is currently held in the collection of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, where it is recognised for its technical execution and its contribution to the development of sixteenth-century Italian portraiture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58173647814991,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173647880527,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173647978831,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58173648011599,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173648077135,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232356372815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232356405583,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232356438351,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232356471119,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232356503887,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232356569423,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232356602191,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232356667727,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232356700495,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232357224783,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232357257551,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232357323087,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-a-Musician_Poster_CompositorV1_1783473126079.jpg?v=1783569187"},{"product_id":"vertumnus-and-pomona-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Vertumnus and Pomona - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic Mannerist fresco by Jacopo Pontormo, depicting the Roman deities Vertumnus and Pomona in a serene, rustic setting at the Medici villa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003ePainted for the Medici villa at Poggio a Caiano, this fresco represents a departure from the rigid spatial logic of the High Renaissance. Jacopo Pontormo, a master of the Mannerist style, creates a scene that feels both relaxed and enigmatic. The work depicts the Roman deities Vertumnus, the god of seasons and gardens, and Pomona, the goddess of fruit trees, within a rustic setting. \n\nThe composition is unusual for its time. Pontormo places the figures on a raised stone ledge, effectively pushing them into the foreground. This arrangement creates a sense of proximity between the viewer and the subjects. The figures themselves exhibit the elongated proportions and fluid, unconventional poses characteristic of the artist. Their expressions are contemplative, lacking the dramatic tension often found in contemporary religious works. \n\nTechnically, the fresco displays a soft, atmospheric quality. The palette is dominated by earthy tones, with muted yellows, browns, and soft blues that suggest the warmth of a Tuscan summer. The inclusion of a dog and various agricultural implements adds a layer of domesticity to the mythological narrative. The foliage above the figures provides a natural canopy, framing the scene without overwhelming the human subjects. \n\nThis work reflects the intellectual climate of the Medici court, where classical themes were frequently adapted to celebrate the prosperity of the land. Pontormo avoids the symmetry favoured by his predecessors, opting instead for a balanced yet asymmetrical distribution of weight and form. The result is a composition that feels spontaneous, as if the figures have been caught in a moment of quiet repose. The artist's signature, I.F.P., is visible on the stone ledge, confirming his authorship of this decorative cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58173650698575,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173650764111,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173650862415,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58173650895183,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173650960719,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232353096015,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232353128783,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232353161551,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232353194319,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232353227087,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232353292623,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232353325391,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232353390927,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232353423695,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232353947983,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232353980751,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232354046287,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Vertumnus-and-Pomona_Poster_CompositorV1_1783473247612.jpg?v=1783569266"},{"product_id":"annunciation-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Annunciation - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detail from Jacopo Pontormo's Annunciation fresco, capturing the fluid, elongated style and emotional tension characteristic of the Florentine Mannerist period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis work is a fragment of the Annunciation fresco cycle painted by Jacopo Pontormo for the Capponi Chapel in the church of Santa Felicita, Florence. Pontormo, a central figure of the Florentine Mannerist movement, moved away from the balanced proportions and naturalistic clarity of the High Renaissance. Instead, he employed elongated forms, ambiguous spatial relationships, and a distinctively cool, acidic colour palette.\n\nThe figure of the Virgin Mary displays the characteristic tension found in Pontormo's mature work. Her posture is fluid, almost weightless, as she turns towards the unseen angel. The drapery of her garments is rendered with sharp, angular folds that obscure the physical form beneath, creating a sense of psychological unease. The palette relies on contrasting tones of deep crimson and muted blue, set against a pale, neutral background that emphasises the sculptural quality of the figure.\n\nUnlike the stable, pyramidal compositions typical of the preceding generation, this fresco prioritises emotional intensity and formal artifice. The gaze of the Virgin is directed away from the viewer, suggesting an internalised experience of the divine encounter. The surface shows the effects of time, with areas of the original plaster exposed, which adds a tactile quality to the print. This piece offers a view into the experimental nature of sixteenth-century Italian art, where the rules of perspective and anatomy were frequently adjusted to serve the artist's expressive goals. It remains a study in the transition from the order of the early century to the subjective, often unsettling, aesthetic of the later Mannerist period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58173899735375,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173899800911,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173899899215,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58173899931983,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58173899997519,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232341561679,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232341594447,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232341627215,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232341659983,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58232341692751,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232341758287,"sku":null,"price":117.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58232341791055,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58232341856591,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232341889359,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232342413647,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232342446415,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232342511951,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Annunciation_Poster_CompositorV1_1783473606657.jpg?v=1783570051"},{"product_id":"portrait-of-ugolino-martelli-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Portrait of Ugolino Martelli - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA refined Mannerist portrait by Jacopo Pontormo, depicting the scholar Ugolino Martelli with classical texts in a quiet, intellectual setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eJacopo Pontormo, a central figure of the Florentine Mannerist movement, painted this portrait of the young scholar Ugolino Martelli around 1537. The work captures the subject in a moment of quiet intellectual engagement. Martelli is depicted seated, his gaze directed towards the viewer, while his hand rests upon an open volume of Homer. This inclusion of classical literature serves to identify his status as a humanist scholar, a common trope in Renaissance portraiture intended to convey the sitter's education and social standing.\n\nThe composition is defined by the cool, detached elegance characteristic of Pontormo's mature style. The figure is set against a simplified architectural backdrop, which creates a sense of spatial ambiguity. The artist employs a muted colour palette, dominated by the dark tones of the subject's doublet, which contrasts with the pale, almost porcelain-like quality of his skin and the white highlights of his shirt and the feather in his cap. The lighting is soft, avoiding the dramatic chiaroscuro often found in earlier Renaissance works, and instead favouring a smooth, refined finish that emphasises the stillness of the scene.\n\nPontormo's approach to the human form here is marked by a subtle elongation and a sense of psychological distance. Unlike the more naturalistic portraits of the High Renaissance, this work leans into the artificiality that defines Mannerism.

The composition is contained within a lunette, a shape that dictates the crowded, semi-circular arrangement of the figures. Unlike the balanced, rational spatial organisation typical of the High Renaissance, this piece displays the early signs of the Mannerist style that would define Pontormo's later career. The figures are packed into the frame, creating a sense of compressed energy and physical tension.\n\nChrist is shown kneeling under the weight of the cross, a central figure around whom the narrative chaos unfolds. The palette is composed of earthy tones, with flashes of muted red and ochre that draw the eye across the busy scene. The faces of the onlookers are rendered with a degree of psychological intensity, their expressions conveying a mixture of sorrow and agitation. The lack of a clear, deep horizon line forces the viewer to focus on the immediate, tactile interaction between the figures. The drapery of the garments is handled with a fluidity that suggests movement, even within the static nature of the fresco medium. \n\nPontormo, a student of Andrea del Sarto, shows here an early interest in the expressive potential of the human form. The work reflects the transition from the orderly compositions of the early sixteenth century toward a more subjective, emotionally charged visual language. The crowded nature of the scene serves to heighten the drama of the event, placing the viewer in close proximity to the suffering of the protagonist. This print captures the texture and tonal shifts of the original fresco, allowing for a detailed examination of the brushwork and the complex interplay of light and shadow across the crowded composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/saint-john-the-baptist-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSaint John the Baptist - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58172523446607,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58174354522447,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58174354555215,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58174354587983,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58174354620751,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58174354653519,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58174354686287,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58174354719055,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58174354751823,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58174354784591,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58174354817359,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232320557391,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232320590159,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ White frame","offer_id":58232320622927,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ XS Canvas (20x30cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232320950607,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ Small Canvas (30x40cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232320983375,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Canvas \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58232321048911,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Ascent-to-Calvary_Poster_CompositorV1_1783474328051.jpg?v=1783574086"},{"product_id":"madonna-and-child-with-saints-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Madonna and Child with Saints - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA classic example of early Mannerist painting by Jacopo Pontormo, featuring the Virgin and Child surrounded by saints in a highly expressive composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis composition, attributed to the Florentine painter Jacopo Pontormo, displays the stylistic shifts characteristic of the early Mannerist period.

These stylistic choices deviate from the naturalism of the preceding generation, favouring instead a subjective, emotional interpretation of the narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the foreground, a figure sits upon a raised platform, seemingly detached from the surrounding chaos. This juxtaposition of stillness and violent activity is a hallmark of Pontormo's approach to narrative painting. The work reflects the tension and instability of the era, both in the religious context of the subject matter and the artistic climate of sixteenth-century Florence. The treatment of the human form, with its fluid, non-anatomical grace, demonstrates the artist's departure from classical ideals in favour of a more personal, stylistic expression. This print captures the density of the original composition, allowing for a close examination of the varied poses and the interplay of light and shadow across the multitude of figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/lucrezia-panciatichi-agnolo-bronzino-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLucrezia Panciatichi - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/landscape-with-vegetables-and-fruit-in-the-foreground-abraham-bloemaert-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscape with Vegetables and Fruit in the Foreground - Abraham Bloemaert — Abraham Bloemaert\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58478989836623,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58478997340495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58478997373263,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58478997406031,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58478997438799,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58478997471567,"sku":null,"price":59.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58478997504335,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58478997537103,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58478997569871,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58478997602639,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58478997635407,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Martyrdom-of-the-Ten-Thousand_Poster_CompositorV1_1786329042115.jpg?v=1786745134"},{"product_id":"four-evangelists-saint-john-jacopo-pontormo","title":"Four Evangelists: Saint John - Jacopo Pontormo","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking Mannerist tondo by Jacopo Pontormo, depicting Saint John the Evangelist with characteristic anatomical fluidity and psychological intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis circular panel, or tondo, depicts Saint John the Evangelist in a characteristic Mannerist style. Jacopo Pontormo, a central figure of the Florentine school, executed this work for the Capponi Chapel in the church of Santa Felicita in Florence. The composition is defined by a tight, compressed space that forces the figure into a dynamic, twisting posture. The saint is shown in profile, his gaze directed away from the viewer, which creates a sense of psychological tension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePontormo employs a sophisticated use of light and shadow to model the musculature of the saint. The anatomy is rendered with a deliberate elongation and fluidity that departs from the balanced proportions of the High Renaissance. The drapery, rendered in cool tones, contrasts with the warm, fleshy hues of the skin. The background is a stark, dark void, which serves to isolate the figure and focus attention on the expressive quality of the pose and the intensity of the saint's expression. The circular format of the panel dictates the arrangement of the figure, with the saint's body curving to follow the perimeter of the frame. This work demonstrates the artist's interest in subjective expression and the manipulation of form to convey emotional weight.

The work features the Virgin Mary seated with the Christ Child, surrounded by an assembly of saints and angels.

Painted during the early stages of the artist's career, the work displays the transition from the balanced compositions of the High Renaissance towards the more individualistic and expressive qualities that would define the Mannerist period. The subject is depicted in a three-quarter view, her gaze directed towards the viewer with a steady, composed expression. She wears a gown of warm, reddish-orange fabric, which features a subtle, woven pattern that catches the light. Her attire is completed by a simple white chemise and a braided necklace, reflecting the fashion of early sixteenth-century Florence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist employs a dark, neutral background, which serves to isolate the figure and draw attention to the textures of her clothing and the basket she holds. The basket, containing spindles, suggests a connection to textile work, a common motif in portraits of the era intended to signify the virtue and industry of the sitter. Pontormo's handling of light is soft, modelling the features of the face with a gentle touch that avoids harsh shadows. The brushwork is precise, particularly in the rendering of the fabric folds and the delicate details of the woman's headpiece. This painting provides a clear example of the portraiture style prevalent in Tuscany during the early Cinquecento, where the focus remained on the psychological presence of the sitter rather than elaborate environmental detail. The composition is restrained, relying on the subtle interplay of colour and form to create a sense of harmony.

Jacopo Pontormo, a student of Andrea del Sarto, presents the figure of Leda in a central, upright position. She is accompanied by the swan, representing Zeus, and several putti who interact with the hatched eggs at her feet. The composition reflects the transition from the balanced ideals of the High Renaissance towards the elongated forms and psychological tension characteristic of the Mannerist style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePontormo employs a soft, sfumato-influenced technique to model the flesh tones of Leda, creating a contrast with the darker, atmospheric landscape in the background. The distant mountains and muted sky provide a sense of depth, yet the figures remain the primary focus of the viewer.

Jacopo Pontormo, primarily known for his paintings, demonstrates a sculptural sensibility here that mirrors the elongated forms and psychological tension found in his two-dimensional works. The composition features Joseph, the Virgin Mary, and the Christ Child alongside the infant John the Baptist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figures are arranged in a tight, interlocking group. Joseph is positioned to the left, his muscular frame providing a stable base for the interaction between the two children. Mary sits to the right, her posture relaxed yet attentive. The terracotta medium allows for a tactile quality, capturing the musculature and soft contours of the figures with directness. Unlike the balanced, harmonious proportions typical of the High Renaissance, this work exhibits a certain restlessness in the poses and the way the figures relate to one another.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePontormo often experimented with unconventional spatial arrangements and emotional ambiguity. In this sculpture, the focus remains on the physical connection between the figures, with the children reaching towards each other in a naturalistic gesture. The surface of the terracotta retains the marks of the artist, providing a sense of immediacy that is often lost in finished marble works. This piece offers a view into the preparatory or experimental side of Pontormo's practice, where he explored volume and form outside the constraints of the canvas. The work is presented here as a high-quality fine art print, capturing the texture and shadow of the original material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/pope-leo-x-agnolo-bronzino\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePope Leo X - Agnolo Bronzino — Agnolo Bronzino\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/en-nz\/products\/la-resurrezione-the-resurrection-tintoretto\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLa Resurrezione (The Resurrection) - Tintoretto — Tintoretto\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacopo Pontormo","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479145288015,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479145353551,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479145451855,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479145484623,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479145550159,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Holy-Family_Poster_CompositorV1_1786331581653.jpg?v=1786747857"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/en-nz\/collections\/jacopo-pontormo.oembed","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
