Jacopo da Pontormo (Pontorme, 1494 – Firenze, 1557) fu un artista molto influente per il Manierismo del XVI secolo, e un precursore del successivo Barocco. La sua formazione gli diede un’ampia conoscenza dell’arte fiorentina influente al tempo, dato che ebbe come maestri Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Mariotto Albertinelli (1474-1515), Piero di Cosimo (1462-1522) e soprattutto Andrea del Sarto (1486-1531). Il suo lavoro fu molto importante per il suo illustre alunno, il Bronzino (1503-1572).

This image of Pontormo has tended to color the popular conception of the artist, as seen in the film of Giovanni Fago, Pontormo, a heretical love. Fago portrays Pontormo as mired in a lonely and ultimately paranoid dedication to his final Last Judgment project, which he often kept shielded from onlookers. Yet as the art historian Elizabeth Pilliod has pointed out, Vasari was in fierce competition with the Pontormo/Bronzino workshop at the time when he was writing his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects. This professional rivalry between the two bottegas could well have provided Vasari with ample motivation for running down the artistic lineage of his opponent for Medici patronage
