Summary
In the early 16th century, Italian painting underwent a significant transformation, as Italy's political landscape was also changing. This period marked the shift from the serenity and harmony of Renaissance masters to the turbulence and irrationality of artists like Tintoretto and Pontormo, with a focus on mythological and secular subjects. One of the central figures of this period was Bronzino, who was a court painter known for his mythological art and a patron of the arts, particularly interested in secular subjects.
