Summary

Tracing Pontormo’s critical fortunes and misfortunes, the introduction interrogates the legacy of Vasari and mannerism to provide a nuanced view of his production and its place within the Florentine canon. A reevaluation of Pontormo’s drawings and early religious commissions demonstrates that the ways in which he explored imitation and innovation at first hewed to, and then radically departed from, traditional pictorial conventions.
