Mannerism (1530-90)

• a stylistic period between High Renaissance and Baroque

• something that is affected or exaggerated• younger painters had to live up to legends of

Michelangelo, da Vinci, Raphael and knew they couldn’t improve on the past

• Painters, therefore, painted “in the manner of” the great artists

• Madonna with the Long Neck, 1534-40

proportions• meaningless objects in

•Artists, encouraged by the Catholic church, appeal to the common man by making the bible “real”; biblical figures in modern clothes expressing the drama of everyday life

•Churches are spacious and light; religion is to be experienced through the senses(Jesuit meditations on the torments of the senses to experience hell)

•Major Counter-Reformation countries—Italy, Spain, Austria, France
