''Visitation'' (1514–1516) is a significant early Mannerist painting by the Italian artist Jacopo Carucci, commonly known as Pontormo. This artwork, which depicts the biblical scene of the Visitation, where the Virgin Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth, both of whom are pregnant with Jesus and John the Baptist, respectively, is renowned for its departure from the compositional norms and emotional restraint of the High Renaissance. Painted in oil on panel, the work measures 202 cm × 156 cm (79.5 in × 61.4 in) and is currently housed in the Church of San Francesco e Michele, in Carmignano, near Florence, Italy.

Pontormo's ''Visitation'' is characterized by its vibrant color palette, elongated figures, and a sense of movement that is atypical of the static and balanced compositions of his predecessors. The figures are arranged in a tight, almost claustrophobic space, with the two central figures, Mary and Elizabeth, embracing in a moment of tender emotion. The intimacy of this encounter is heightened by the presence of two female onlookers, whose gazes and gestures add to the narrative complexity of the scene.

The painting is notable for its expressive use of color and form, which would become hallmarks of the Mannerist style that emerged in the later years of the Italian Renaissance. Pontormo's use of unnatural hues and the twisting, serpentine poses of the figures reflect a departure from the idealized naturalism of earlier Renaissance works, suggesting a more personal and emotional approach to religious subject matter.

''Visitation'' is often discussed in the context of Pontormo's oeuvre as an example of his innovative approach to composition and figure representation, which would influence subsequent generations of artists. The work's emotional resonance, combined with its stylistic idiosyncrasies, makes it an important piece in the study of 16th-century Italian art and a testament to Pontormo's mastery of color and form.
