EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of art history - a preparatory drawing by Jacopo Carrucci, also known as Pontormo. The artwork in question is his depiction of "The Visitation", created for the Church of San Michele in Carmignano during the years 1528-1530. Preserved within the esteemed Room of Drawings and Prints at the Museum of the Uffizi in Florence, this print showcases Pontormo's mastery of Mannerism, a style that emerged during the Renaissance-Baroque period in Europe. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his meticulous rendering of clothing and accessories worn by both figures. The central theme revolves around Mary's visitation to her cousin Elizabeth, as described in the New Testament. Pontormo skillfully captures not only their physical appearances but also delves into their individual psychological aspects. Through subtle gestures and expressions, he conveys emotions such as joy, reverence, and anticipation. In this particular image, Mary is depicted wearing a veil that partially covers her head while donning an elegant dress befitting her status. Her attire reflects both religious and civilian influences prevalent during that era. Meanwhile, Elizabeth appears more modestly dressed with a simple headdress adorning her head. This photograph serves as a testament to Pontormo's artistic genius and offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate his unique interpretation of biblical scenes within the context of Renaissance-Baroque aesthetics. It transports us back to an era where art was used not only for aesthetic pleasure but also as a means to convey profound spiritual messages. Captured by Anchise & C. Mannelli from Alinari in 1910, this image allows us to admire Pontormo's work even if we cannot witness it firsthand within its original setting at San Michele in Carmignano church today
