"A different and more drastic change occurred about the same time [late 1540s] in the style of Jacopino del Conte, who had been [Francesco] Salviati's rival in the forming of a new phase of Maniera in the previous decade.  Like Salviati, Jacopino had apparently received his first important training under [Andrea del] Sarto.  In the years between 1530 and 1536 (or early 1537) when he came to Rome, Jacopino produced a series of easel paintings in which an initial close dependence on Andrea's style was quickly modified by a reference to Michelangelo's Medicean sculptures, and in less degree to Pontormo's painting; by the middle thirties he had evolved a style which (though its sources were openly apparent) made a personal contribution to the aspect of contemporary Florentine Mannerism.  Jacopino was almost over-sensitive to influence (and also emotionally responsive in a measure quite unlike either Bronzino or Salviati), and his arrival in Rome provoked a considerable reorientation of his ideals of style, at first significantly classicist."
