Dear zarajara, then the story, in fact, was.
In 1525 Ludovico Capponi someone bought a Florentine church of Santa Felicita chapel and asked her to decorate Pontormo. He worked for three years (until 1828) by performing a series of frescoes and easel works. In the 18th century chapel vault painted by Pontormo, was destroyed. As a result, a preserved fresco (The Annunciation), a lot of work in oil on board, "Descent from the Cross" (incidentally, one of the best things in Pontormo) and four discussed Tondo (oil on board).
Vasari in the life of Pontormo wrote that three Tondo wrote himself a master, but one thing - his pupil Bronzino, noticing that Pontormo himself always did my thing, but if something is trusted disciple, then in his work did not interfere. So since then and became the custom to consider.
But in the early 20th century. began to appear on this account doubt. As a result, the mid-20th century, opinion was divided. While the undisputed work of Pontormo is just John. To all the rest were detected preparatory drawings hands Bronzino (two in the Uffizi, one in Besançon). So in these three works can be found three different opinions. That is referred to pictures (sorry for the quality, better not). The names in the titles.
This here, you know, parsley.

fabosch, many thanks for the detailed information, despite the fact that the authorship of the situation has not been clarified. I think it would be a mistake not to sign these papers two names. In the end, it still was the order of Pontormo. This in itself is retroissledovanie gave me great pleasure, I hope - not me alone.
I am very interested in this composition of St.. St. Matthew. Although many have been very resourceful mannerist in the compositions, but in this "vylezanii" out of the picture there is something very modern, even eerie face komiksovoy + character + "choking" putti, which in composition and does not need it.
I was, thought it was a symbol of St. Matthew - an angel, but it's cherubs, angels, cherubs in the form of a character I do not recall, and the other characters do not have Tondo, behind only Luke peeps bull's head. Besides the three evangelists only Matthew looks at the viewer, and how watching! With some dismay. What would all this mean? A strange work, themes, and interesting.
P.S. No, Mark, and looks, but calm and even a little flirty.
