Capodimonte, Naples)
c.1534–40
Parmigianino,
Madonna and Angels or
Madonna with the Long
Neck (Uffizi, Florence).
Attenuated
proportions and
contrasting colours
make this a fine
example of the
Mannerist style.

c.1540 Agnolo Bronzino,
Portrait of Lucrezia Panciatichi 1556 Veronese,
(Uffizi, Florence). Elongated Triumph of Mordecai
features, such as Lucrezia’s (San Sebastiano, Venice)
fingers, are typical of
the exaggerated
Mannerist style.

c.1526–30 Correggio, Assumption of the
Virgin (Dome of Parma Cathedral). Neither a
Mannerist nor a High Renaissance painter,
Correggio was a master of illusion, skilled at
making ascending figures float convincingly,
as seen in the fresco on the left.
