Podcast 191 – The Capponi Altarpiece Part II

February 6, 2024

Jacopo Pontormo’s altarpiece for the Capponi Chapel in the church of Santa Felicità in Florence, Italy, is one of the most beautiful paintings of the Italian Renaissance.

This episode unpacks Pontormo’s great painting and the various theories that surround it.
