Mannerism

What to look for

Mannerism: High Renaissance figures are balanced and natural; Mannerist ones are stretched, crowded and theatrical, with unusual colour and unclear space. Baroque, after it, returns to weight and drama.

Paris Bordone (5 July 1500 – 19 January 1571) was an Italian painter of the Venetian Renaissance who, despite training with Titian, maintained a strand of Mannerist complexity and provincial vigor. Wikipedia
