MANNERISM
Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, known
as Raphael
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti
Simoni, known simply as Michelangelo
Michelangelo had set formal complexity
standards in portraying human nudity and the
norm of idealized beauty by Raphael.
Nevertheless, in the work of these artists'
Mannerist successors, an obsession with
style and technique in figural composition
often outweighed the subject matter's
importance and meaning

the renaissance art style “naturalism” to a artificial and exaggerated art style that
is mannerism.
• Noted during Late Renaissance, most of the achievements from arts structure,
technology, and others have already been achieved in those days; among the

France.
• The mannerist art took High Renaissance techniques "a step further" through
exaggeration.
• Lavish adornment is another way: Mannerists pushed Renaissance sensibilities to
their limits
• Mannerists abandoned the natural colors used by High Renaissance painters and
instead employed artificial—and often garish—tones.
• Mannerist sculpture and Mannerist painting, was characterized by elongated
forms, spiral angels, twisted poses, and aloof subject gazes.
• Mannerists preferred provocative nudes, mythological topics, allegories, and
Catholic mysticism regarding subjects and topics.
