Description:
|
|
Jacopo Carrucci, better known as Pontormo, was a leader in the Mannerist movement. Pontormo was only eighteen when he painted Apollo and Daphne, which illustrates Ovid’s tale of the metamorphosis of the nymph Daphne into a laurel tree. Pontormo’s painting was made to adorn a ceremonial carriage for a carnival held in Florence in 1513. (The current frame dates to the seventeenth century.) A highly political event, the carnival announced the return to power of the Medici family after eighteen years of exile from their native city; the laurel tree was one of their emblems. The painting is monochromatic (grisaille) to give it the effect of a sculptural relief. (Source: Bowdoin College [website]; http://www.bowdoin.e du)
