Pontormo’s real name was Jacopo Carrucci, born on May 24 or 25, 1494 in Pontormo, Tuscany, after which he would later be named. In the year of Pontormo’s birth, Italy was caught in a time of great unrest and upheaval, with King Charles VIII of France invading the peninsula and initiating the Great Italian Wars. As a result the Medici family, which had actively endorsed commissions in fine art and encouraged competition among painters, was cast out of Florence in the same year, ending a golden era of for artists in Italy.
