(1551-1640) Pittore d'eleganza e devozione

Jacopo da Empoli
[Maddalena Delli]

Born in Florence on 30th April 1551 in the parish of San Lorenzo, Jacopo di Chimenti was one of the most important Florentine artists to support the painting reform led by Santi di Tito, which would eventually cause the displacement of Mannerism.

Known as Jacopo da Empoli after the place his family came from, he is now the subject of a major exhibition housed in the monumental Church of S. Stefano and the spacious rooms of the adjoining Convent, two of Empoli's most interesting historic buildings. Jacopo perfected his technique mainly by copying the great masters of the early 15th Century including Pontormo, some of whose masterpieces are also on display.

Starting with the famous self-portrait from the Uffizi (above), the exhibition layout is divided into five sections retracing Jacopo's career with almost one hundred works ranging from religious subjects to portraits, gathered at Empoli from many Italian and foreign museums and private collections.
