Monday Morning Museum: Mannerism

Mannerism – In Europe from the Mid-to-Late Sixteenth Century

Mannerism is a period of European art that emerged from the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520. It lasted until about 1580 in Italy, when the Baroque style began to replace it, but Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century. - Wikipedia.org

In addition to Rosso Fiorentino (see art example below), other practitioners of Mannerism are Michelangelo, Pontormo and Parmigianino.
