Artimino (Prato) / Avori principeschi: lo spettacolare corredo del tumulo etrusco di Montefortini in tutto il suo splendore

Redazione Gli oggetti d’avorio, si sa, erano tra i beni suntuari maggiormente ricercati dalle corti del Vicino Oriente, dove sono stati ritrovati per lo più nelle stanze dei palazzi reali; in Grecia gli avori più pregiati e più numerosi sono stati rinvenuti nei santuari, mentre in Etruria li ritroviamo principalmente in pochi grandi monumenti funerari del periodo ‘orientalizzante’ (VII secolo…

A Carmignano: la rocca e il Pontormo

Carmignano le mura di recensione all’antica rocca “Chi visita questa Terra resta sorpreso di non trovare alcun indizio di tante decantate fortificazioni, e di vedere un paese aperto di due borghi staccati, il più alto dei quali conserva il nome di Castello, probabilmente per essere al suo ridosso la semidiruta Rocca”. Così il Repetti nel Dizionario geografico fisico storico della Toscana…

The Visitation

Artist: Pontorno (Italian, 1494-1557)

Date: c. 1528-1530

Medium: Oil on panel

Location: Propositura dei Santi Michele e Francesco, Carmignano

Description

The Apostle Luke is the only gospel writer to give particular attention to the ‘visitation’, when Mary visits Elizabeth before their babies are born. In his diligent research (Luke 1:3), presumably mostly carried out during the two years he spent in Palestine while Paul was in prison (Acts 24:27), he will have had opportunities for conversation with Mary about Jesus’ early history. This episode must have struck him as significant.

The incident is the first public recognition of Jesus, when John the Baptist – whose job it is to witness to Jesus as the Messiah (Luke 1:17; John 1:8, 29) – responds to Jesus even while in the womb. Pontormo is perhaps suggesting this by making the two ‘bumps’ bump. Luke wants his readers to ‘know the certainty’ of the gospel and here, right at the start, we see the evidence accumulating that Jesus really is the Messiah.

Visitation of Carmignano

Artist: Jacopo Pontormo (Florentine, 1494-1557)

Genre: Religious Art

Date: 1528

Medium: Oil on board

Collection: Rectory of Saints Michael and Francis

The highly personal figurative inventions of Pontormo's Deposition in the Santa Felicità in Florence are also evident in his Visitation, dating to 1528-29. The lozenge-shaped arrangement of the four figures represented in the foreground of the painting was probably suggested to Pontormo by Dürer's engraving portraying the Four Witches (1497). Entirely original, on the other hand are the intertwining arcs of arms and fabric that firmly unites the two protagonists whose distinctly enlarged bodies dominate the painted surface.

The monumental scene is depicted in a frozen fashion against the background of a roughly painted, funereally gloomy town. The profile portrayal of the two main figures embracing each other with extreme delicacy and exchanging looks of intense mutual affection is set against the rigidly frontal positions of the two bystanders in the background. Immobile, almost petrified, the latter keep their eyes fixed on something outside the scene, revealing their total lack of emotional participation in the event. The age difference between these two women and their facial resemblance with the protagonists invite an interpretation of the two maid servants as the doubles of Mary and Elisabeth. Their expressions convey a rather melancholic tone to the scene's general atmosphere of high spirituality.
