Summary
In analyzing noteworthy religious commissions by Pontormo’s contemporary, Baccio Bandinelli, as well as his pupil Bronzino, and the latter’s student, Alessandro Allori, this chapter questions a dominant narrative of Counter-Reformation art. I posit that the individualized approach exemplified by Pontormo was not wholly discarded in favor of iconographic clarity and stylistic legibility in the second half of the sixteenth century.
