Pontormo shares some of the mannerism of Rosso Fiorentino and of Parmigianino. In some ways, he anticipated the Baroque as well as the tensions of El Greco. His eccentricities also resulted in an original sense of composition. At best, his compositions are cohesive. The figures in the Deposition, for example, appear to... |

Jacopo Torriti or Turriti was an Italian painter and mosaic maker who lived in the 13th century. |
He worked in the decoration especially in the apse of San Giovanni in Laterano and Santa Maria Maggiore in Rome. Those in the Lateran were carried out in conjunction with the Franciscan friar, Jacopo Camerino. They were executed between the years 1287 and 1292, and though in imitation of the style of Cimabue. |
There are no written documents about his life. In 1291 he signed the apse mosaics in the basilica San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome, which was nearly all redone in 1878. The mosaics of the apse in Santa Maria Maggiore were executed by him in 1295. They depict the Coronation of the Virgin by Christ in a large medallion. ... |
Torriti probably participated in the execution of some frescoes in the upper church of Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi and frescoes in Abbey of Tre Fontane close to Rome. |
In France, a painting of Jacopo Torriti is exhibited at the Museum of Grenoble (Santa Lucia). |

Jacopo Zucchi (c. 1541– c. 1590) was a Florentine painter of the Mannerist style, active in Florence and Rome. |
His training began in the studio of Giorgio Vasari, and he participated in the decoration of the Studiolo and the Salone dei Cinquecento in the Palazzo Vecchio. Moving to Rome in the early 1570s, he worked for Cardinal Ferdinando de' Medici in his Palazzo Firenze (1574), for whom he also probably produced the oil on pa... |

Jacques Daret (c. 1404 – c. 1470) was an Early Netherlandish painter born in Tournai (Doornik; now in Belgium), where he would spend much of his life. Daret spent 15 years as a pupil in the studio of Robert Campin, alongside Rogier or Rogelet de le Pasture (assumed by scholars to be Rogier van der Weyden), and afterwa... |
Though many works of Daret are mentioned in Jean de Clercq's account books, only four panels have survived: all are from the so-called Arras Altarpiece or Saint-Vaast Altarpiece, painted for the abbot between 1433 and 1435. These paintings show a striking resemblance to the Flemish realism of the Master of Flémalle. ... |
Daret features rather more in the art historical debates over his period than the merit of his work alone would justify because he is relatively well-documented, and in particular can be securely identified as the creator of the altarpiece mentioned above, as well as a pupil of Campin. The stylistic similarity between... |
Arras Altarpiece |
Daret's four surviving securely identified works, all from the Arras Altarpiece, are the Visitation and Adoration of the Magi (both Gemäldegalerie, Berlin), the Nativity (Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid), and the Presentation in the Temple (Petit Palais, Paris). |

Jacques Fouquier, Jacques Fouquières or Jacob Focquier (c. 1590/91 – 1655) was a Flemish landscape painter. After training in Antwerp he worked in various places where he often obtained appointments as a painter to the court including that of the French kings. He earned great success and a very high reputation during ... |
Life |
Little is known with certainty about the life of Jacques Fouquier. He was traditionally believed to have been born in Antwerp at about 1580. Wolfgang Stechow was able to show in 1930 that his birth date should be placed around 1590. He came to this conclusion on the basis of an autograph inscription by Fouquier on a dr... |
In 1614 he was registered as a master painter under the name Jacques Foucque in the registers of the Antwerp Guild of St. Luke. The record does not mention who was his master. Some art historians have proposed a traineeship first under Joos de Momper, a prominent landscape painter and later under Jan Brueghel the Elde... |
In the period between 1616 and 1619 he worked in Heidelberg at the court of the art loving Frederick V, the Elector Palatine. He was in charge of the decorative programme for the new 'Englischer Bau' (English building) of Heidelberg Castle, which was purpose-built for the Elector's English bride Elizabeth Stuart. He a... |
At the latest by 1621 he had established himself in Paris, where he became court painter to King Louis XIII. The monarch elevated him to the peerage in 1626. This mark of distinction is said by Dezallier d'Argenville to have rendered him so vain, that afterwards he always painted with his sword on his side. On 15 July... |
Fouquier lived in 1644 together with Flemish artists Philippe Vleughels, Pieter van Mol, Willem Kalf, Nicasius Bernaerts and Peter van Boucle in Paris. He died at the end of 1655 in a room given to him by the painter Sylvain in the Fauxbourg Saint Jacques in Paris. The inventory of his estate was drawn up on 4 January ... |
His pupils included Philippe de Champaigne, Matthieu van Plattenberg, and Etienne Rendu. |
Work |
Fouquier was a specialist painter and draughtsman of landscapes. While his paintings are now scarce, drawings from his entire career are preserved in various collections. The city views he made for the King of France are lost as well as a series of grand landscapes he made for the Tuileries. Unlike many of his contem... |
His early work showed the characteristics of the Northern style prevalent in the late 16th and early 17th centuries as represented by the works of Joos de Momper and Jan Brueghel the Elder, which was still dependent on the world landscape tradition started in the early 16th century. This tradition showed a preference ... |
In his 1622 Forest landscape (Wallraf–Richartz Museum) he broke with this tradition by abandoning the wide panoramic landscapes in favour of a narrow focus on the depiction of a dark tree and a group of trees. In this development he followed in the footsteps of Gillis van Coninxloo a generation before him. He does not... |
Many of the works of Fouquier were engraved by contemporary artists including Alexander Voet the Younger, Matthieu van Plattenberg, Jan Baptist de Wael, Jean Morin, Gabriel Perelle, Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, Nicolas Cochin and Ignatius van der Stock. The prints provide a record of Fouquier's large-scale works that were... |

Jacques-Laurent Agasse (April 24, 1767 – December 27, 1849) was an animal and landscape painter from Switzerland. |
Born at Geneva, Agasse studied in the public art school of that city. Before he turned twenty he went to Paris to study in veterinary school to make himself fully acquainted with the anatomy of horses and other animals. He seems to have subsequently returned to Switzerland. The Tübinger Morgenblatt (1808, p. 876) says ... |
Nagler says that he was one of the most celebrated animal painters at the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. In Johann Georg Meusel's Neue Miscellaneen (viii. 1052 et seq.), he compares Agasse and Wouwermans, wholly in favour of the former. In that partial article much is said of his extreme devotio... |
In the catalogues his name is given as J.L. Agasse or Agassé. The number of times Agassé changed his address confirms Redgrave's assertion that "he lived poor and died poor". The writer of the panegyric already quoted says, however, that he did not work for money, but that he was urged forward by the resistless force o... |
