Christ the Judge with the Creation of Eve 1550

"Christ the Judge with the Creation of Eve" is a 1550 drawing by Jacopo Pontormo, now housed in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence. This striking charcoal drawing showcases the artist's masterful understanding of anatomy, depicting Christ as the central figure surrounded by figures in various poses. The dynamic composition and expressive lines create a sense of both power and vulnerability, reflecting the complex themes of judgment and creation. The drawing's focus on human form and emotional intensity is characteristic of Pontormo's late style, marking him as a key figure in the evolution of Mannerism.
