In the case of the Octo Finissimo Tuscan Copper, the influence of the Mannerists is certainly of the more subdued variety. Bright, metallic, though ultimately soft in its slightly pastel quality, the dial makes its statement without over shadowing the form of its predecessors, but instead gently, if defiantly, pushing the category in a different direction.
Perhaps the kinship that connects the works of Pontormo and the Octo Finissimo is less about the qualities of a specific color palette, and more that they both sought to shed the conventions of the traditional designs of their day. Choosing instead to play with line and dimension to elicit a shift in both perspective and emotional response. Or, perhaps, the unifying factor is they both sang to Fabrizio Buonamassa Stigliani as the Muse has sung to so many before and, with any luck, will sing to many more again.
