An Analytical Study of a Drawing by Master Jacopo Pontormo

[New Masters Academy]

Master draftsman and painter Danny Galieote executes an analytical study of a costumed-figure drawing by the master Jacopo Pontormo. You will begin by laying in the figure with light, loose and long lines while checking your alignments and proportions. Then you will proceed to develop the head, torso, arms and hip area, as well as the forms, folds and underlying structure.

Materials

• Conté Charcoal Pencil – B and 2B
• Prismacolor Colored Pencil – White
• Kneaded Eraser
• Blue Toned Paper

That drawing it wasnt made by Pontormo. Is, indeed, a portrait of Pontormo made by Agnolo Bronzino.

Thank you for pointing out the correction, bbaa2018g4. This was previously believed to be a self portrait, but it was later realized that it was done by the hand of Agnolo Bronzino. He even used a similar pose in a later portrait of Bartolomeo Panciatichi. There is also speculation that this pose was influenced by Michelangelo’s statue of Giuliano de’ Medici.

We will correct this B)
