Santa Felicità is a Roman Catholic church in Florence, region of Tuscany, Italy, probably the oldest in the city after San Lorenzo. In the 2nd century, Syrian Greek merchants settled in the area south of the Arno and are thought to have brought Christianity to the region. The first church on the site was probably built in the late 4th century or early 5th century and was dedicated to Saint Felicity of Rome. A new church was built in the 11th century and the current church largely dates from 1736–1739, under design by Ferdinando Ruggieri, who turned it into a one nave edifice. The monastery was suppressed under the Napoleonic occupation of 1808–1810.
Empoli is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Florence, Tuscany, Italy, about 30 kilometres (19 mi) southwest of Florence, to the south of the Arno in a plain formed by the river.

Empoli is on the main railway line from Florence to Pisa, and is the point of divergence of a line to Siena. Empoli has an enduring tradition as an agricultural centre. It has given its name to a local variety of artichoke.

Nativity of Saint John the Baptist is a 1526 oil on panel desco da parto painting by Pontormo, now in the Uffizi, where it has been since at least 1704. There is a copy in the Fogg Art Museum. Its status as an autograph work is accepted by most art critics, but was disputed by Philippe Costamagna.
Adoration of the Magi is a c.1522-1523 oil on panel painting by Pontormo, produced for the antechamber of Giovan Maria Benitendi's palazzo in Florence and now in the Galleria Palatina in the same city.
Expulsion from Paradise or the Expulsion of Adam and Eve is an oil on panel painting by Pontormo, now in the Uffizi in Florence, whose Gabinetto Disegni e Stampe also has a preparatory drawing for it. Its dating is also uncertain and varies between c.1519 and c.1543, but is held to be c.1535 by the Uffizi.
The Ten Thousand Martyrs is a oil on panel painting by Pontormo, executed c. 1529-1530, produced for the monks of Florence's Spedale degli Innocenti and now in the city's Galleria Palatina. It shows the martyrdom of the eponymous martyrs alongside Saint Maurice. A copy of the left hand side of the work in the Uffizi is attributed to a young Bronzino.
Scene from Hospital Life is a monochrome fresco fragment by Pontormo, executed c. 1514, originally in Florence's Ospedale di San Matteo, from which it was removed in the 18th century when that building was converted into a museum. It is now in the city's Galleria dell'Accademia.
Madonna and Child with the Infant Saint John the Baptist is an oil on panel painting by Pontormo, now in the Uffizi, whose Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe also houses a preparatory drawing for the work. The two theories on its dating are 1534-1536 and Antonio Natali's theory of 1529–1530.
Madonna and Child with Five Saints or Madonna and Child with Saint Anne and Other Saints is an oil on panel painting by Pontormo, now in the Louvre in Paris. References in Vasari's Lives of the Artists are taken by some to date the work to 1528–1529, the years immediately after he painted the Capponi Chapel. More recent art historians argue its style is close to works he produced between 1524 and 1526.
The San Ruffillo Madonna is a fresco fragment by Pontormo, executed c. 1514, originally in the San Ruffillo church in Florence.
Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist is a c.1522-1523 oil on panel painting by Pontormo, produced early in his career. It now hangs in the Hermitage Museum, which acquired it with countess E. I. Mordvinova's collection. A preparatory drawing survives in the Uffizi's Gabinetto dei Disegni e delle Stampe.
Saint John the Evangelist and Michael the Archangel form a pair of 1518 oil on panel paintings by Pontormo. Each work was originally rectangular in format - the round opening was added in 1737 to accommodate a shrine with a crucifix. They hang in the church of San Michele Arcangelo in Pontormo in the artist's birthplace of Pontorme and may have originally been produced for its cappella del Crocifisso.
