jacopo da empoli (1551 - 1640)
Jacopo da Empoli, real name Jacopo Chimenti, was a prominent Italian painter, a representative of Counter-Mannerism in Italian art. This movement borrowed some features of Mannerism, but resolutely returned to the realism, harmony and poise of the High Renaissance.
Jacopo da Empoli received his artistic training in the workshop of Maso da San Friano and was inspired by the works of Pontormo and Santi di Tito. He created in Florence, small towns in Tuscany and even visited Genoa.
Jacopo da Empoli created religious paintings and portraits, but an interesting feature of his work was his unique still life paintings, completely different from those of the Dutch masters of the time.
