Topic: Mannerism

	MANNERISM,
		Mannerist painting is characterized by the use of attenuated figures in exaggerated postures (plastically rendered, nevertheless); the unrealistic treatment of space, often for melodramatic effect; and often a seemingly arbitrary choice of thin, unharmonious, often acid colors.
		Mannerism, unlike most other art styles, was not so much a rebellion against older styles as a deliberate cultivation, almost to excess, of a previous maniera (Ital., “style”), the way the human figure was treated in the work of the late Italian Renaissance masters Raphael and Michelangelo.
		Mannerism as a separate style is first definable after about 1520 in Rome, in the work of Raphael’s pupil Giulio Romano.
