Pontormo (1494-1557) was an Italian Mannerist painter and portraitist of the Florentine School, known for a style that broke sharply with High Renaissance convention. His figures are often shown in twisting poses within ambiguous, gravity-defying spaces. His most celebrated work is The Deposition from the Cross, an altarpiece of 1528 in the Capponi Chapel, notable for its swirling composition, and he also produced portraits and frescoes that helped shape the emerging Mannerist and early Baroque styles.
