INSPIRATION: The Drawings of Pontormo

10/6/2017

I've always loved the work of Pontormo (Jacopo Carucci), 1494-1557 . His paintings are masterpieces of the Mannerist style, and his drawings are so expressive and loose.

Here we can see the figure from the drawing above, translated to paint (top right) in Pontormo's masterpiece, the Deposition from the Cross.
