Long known only through old photographic documentation and briefly discussed in the historiography following its publication by Roberto Longhi, the painting has now been fully re-examined through direct study, conservation, and scientific analysis, allowing its autograph status to be convincingly reassessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book brings together art-historical, iconographic, and technical research in order to situate the work securely within Pontormo's oeuvre and within the broader cultural and spiritual context of early sixteenth-century Florence. Particular attention is devoted to clarifying the subject of the painting, which is demonstrated not to represent an \u003cem\u003eEcce Homo\u003c\/em\u003e, as previously assumed, but rather the \u003cem\u003eVir Dolorum\u003c\/em\u003e, a devotional image deeply rooted in late medieval and early modern religious practice. This clarification has important consequences for the interpretation, dating, and function of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47650573418732,"sku":"9781917976176","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781917976176-pontormo.jpg?v=1779327708"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/philippe-costamagna.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
