In Parmigianino’s Madonna with the Long Neck (1534-40), Mannerism makes itself known by elongated proportions, highly stylized poses, and lack of clear perspective.
Mannerism
A development of the Renaissance style, Mannerism is generally seen as a reaction against the harmony, order and perfection of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The style was prevalent in Italy between 1520 and 1600. It is characterized by a use of bright, almost garish colours, elaborate compositions, exaggerated forms and dramatic movement. The term originates in the use of the word maniera, meaning ‘stylishness’ and signifying grace, poise and harmony. The word has developed a variety of meanings over the centuries; however, it is generally associated with art and artists who openly demonstrated excessive skill, virtuosity and caprice.
