Pontormo masterworks displayed at Rome's Quirinale Scuderie
The Quirinale’s Scuderie in Rome will host the first comprehensive monographic exhibition devoted to the 16th‑century Florentine painter Jacopo da Pontormo. Open from 9 October 2026 to 7 February 2027, the show gathers the artist’s major paintings and a large selection of works on paper. Curated by art historian Cristina Acidini, the exhibition features loans from the Uffizi Galleries and major institutions worldwide, including the Louvre, the National Gallery (London), the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and others. The centerpiece is Pontormo’s “Visitation” from the church of San Michele Arcangelo in Carmignano. The exhibition aims to present Pontormo’s role in the transition from High Renaissance to Mannerism and to provide a scholarly reference for his oeuvre.
Organised by the Scuderie del Quirinale in partnership with the Uffizi and the Electa publishing house, the show is expected to attract both specialists and the general public, highlighting the artist’s influence from the 16th century to contemporary culture.
