    MANNERISM

    Mannerism
    The wordmannerismderives from the Italianmaniera,
    meaning "style" or "manner". Like the English word
    "style",manieracan either indicate a specific type of
    style (a beautiful style, an abrasive style) or indicate
    an absolute that needs no qualification (someone "has
    style").
    Mannerism is notable for its intellectual sophistication
    as well as its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic)
    qualities.
    AperiodofEuropean artthat emerged from the later
    years of the ItalianHigh Renaissancearound 1520.

    Mannerism
    It lasted until about 1580 in Italy, when
    theBaroquestyle began to replace it,
    butNorthern Mannerismcontinued into the
    early 17th century.
    Stylistically, Mannerism encompasses a
    variety of approaches influenced by, and
    reacting to, the harmonious ideals associated
    with artists such asLeonardo da
    Vinci,Raphael, and earlyMichelangelo.

    Early
    mannerism

    The early Mannerists in Florenceespecially the


    students ofAndrea del Sarto:Jacopo da
    PontormoandRosso Fiorentinoare notable for
    elongated forms, precariously balanced poses, a collapsed
    perspective, irrational settings, and theatrical lighting.
    The earliest experimental phase of Mannerism, known
    for its "anti-classical" forms, lasted until about 1540 or
    1550.
    Parmigianino(a student ofCorreggio) andGiulio
    Romano(Raphaels head assistant) were moving in
    similarly stylized aesthetic directions in Rome.

    asFrancesco Mazzolaorthe
    scientistor, more commonly,
    asParmigianino("the little
    one from Parma"); 11
    January 1503 24 August
    1540) was

    Florence,Rome,Bologna,
    and his native city
    ofParma.

    High
    maniera

    The second period of Mannerism is commonly


    differentiatedfrom the earlier, so-called "anticlassical" phase.
    Subsequent mannerists stressed intellectual conceits
    and artistic virtuosity, features that have led later
    critics to accuse them of working in an unnatural
    and affected "manner" (maniera).
    Maniera artists looked to their older contemporary
    Michelangelo as their principal model; theirs was an
    art imitating art, rather than an art imitating nature.

    Early theorists

    Giorgio Vasari'sopinions about the art of painting


    emerge in the praise he bestows on fellow artists in
    his multi-volumeLives of the Artists: he believed that
    excellence in painting demanded refinement, richness
    of invention (invenzione), expressed through virtuoso
    technique (maniera), and wit and study that appeared
    in the finished work, all criteria that emphasized the
    artist's intellect and the patron's sensibility.

    Another literary figure from the period


    isGian Paolo Lomazzo, who produced two
    worksone practical and one metaphysical
    that helped define the Mannerist artist's
    self-conscious relation to his art. HisTrattato
    dell'arte della pittura, scoltura et
    architettura(Milan, 1584) is in part a guide
    to contemporary concepts ofdecorum, which
    the Renaissance inherited in part from
    Antiquity but Mannerism elaborated upon.

    Some
    mannerist
    examples

    Jacopo da Pontormo
    Jacopo da Pontormo'sJoseph in Egyptfeatures what
    would in the Renaissance have been considered
    incongruous colors and an incoherent handling of time
    and space.
    Rosso Fiorentino and the School of Fontainebleau
    Rosso Fiorentino, who had been a fellow pupil of
    Pontormo in the studio ofAndrea del Sarto, in 1530
    brought Florentine mannerism to Fontainebleau, where he
    became one of the founders of French 16th-century
    Mannerism, popularly known as the "School of
    Fontainebleau".
    Agnolo Bronzino
    Mannerist portraits byAgnolo Bronzinoare

    Alessandro Allori
    Alessandro Allori's (15351607)Susanna and the Elders(below) is
    distinguished by latent eroticism and consciously brilliant still life
    detail, in a crowded, contorted composition.
    Tintoretto
    Tintoretto'sLast Supper(below) focuses on light and motion, bringing
    the image to dramatic life. Unlike more traditional views of the Last
    Supper, Tintoretto depicts Heaven opening up into the room, and
    theangelslooking on in awe, in line with the old Catholic maxim that
    "If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy the Eucharist.
    El Greco
    El Grecoattempted to expressreligiousemotion with exaggerated
    traits. El Greco still is a deeply original artist. El Greco has been
    characterized by modern scholars as an artist so individual that he
    belongs to no conventional school.

    Benvenuto Cellini
    Benvenuto Cellinicreated theCellini Salt Cellarof gold and enamel in
    1540 featuringPoseidonandAmphitrite(water and earth) placed in
    uncomfortable positions and with elongated proportions. It is considered a
    masterpiece of Mannerist sculpture.
    Joachim Wtewael
    Joachim Wtewael(1566-1638) continued to paint in a Northern
    Mannerist style until the end of his life, ignoring the arrival of the
    Baroque, and making him perhaps the last significant Mannerist artist still
    to be working. His subjects included large scenes with still life in the
    manner ofPieter Aertsen, and mythological scenes, many smallcabinet
    paintingsbeautifully executed on copper, and most featuring nudity.
    Giuseppe Arcimboldo
    Giuseppe Arcimboldo(also spelledArcimboldi) is known for his portraits
    contrived from astill lifecomposition.
