Jacopo Carucci (May 24, 1494 – January 2, 1557), usually known as Jacopo da Pontormo, Jacopo Pontormo, or simply Pontormo, was an Italian Mannerist painter and portraitist from the Florentine School. His play in represents a rarefied stylistic shift from the relieve perspectival regularity that characterized the art of the Florentine Renaissance. He is famous for his use of twining poses, coupled past ambiguous perspective; his figures often seem to float in an indefinite environment, unhampered by the forces of gravity.
