Pontormo's Halberdier returns to Florence after more than two decades

From May 8 to July 29, 2018, Palazzo Pitti will be the center of a major event: after more than two decades, theAlabardiere created by Pontormo, now housed at the J.Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, returns to Florence.

The exhibition"The Alabardiere Returning to Florence. Miraculous Encounters: Pontormo from Drawing to Painting," curated by Bruce Edelstein and David Gasparotto, will display to the public Pontormo’s Alabardiere, which will be compared with both the preparatory drawing in the Uffizi and the recently discovered Portrait of Carlo Neroni from a private collection.

Works from Pontormo’s maturity, made in the late 1620s, will also be on view.
These include the Visitation of Carmignano, exhibited for the first time alongside the related black pencil study preserved in the Uffizi.

The exhibition was created in collaboration with the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York.
