Mannerism. Mannerism is an art style that emerged between approximately 1520 and 1580[1]. It was a reaction against the perfection brought by the Renaissance and paved the way for the styles and movements that came after it. Its initiator and most important representative is Michelangelo Bounarotti. The apocalypse frescoes in the Sistine Chapel were decisive for this style of painting. The fact that artistic quality is now sought instead of the ideal image becomes evident with the deformation of the figures and appears as a step towards original styles. The most important artists are Tintoretto and El Greco.
In Mannerism, everything is mixed together. Everything is in motion.
It is a little difficult to understand the incident clearly. This mobility arises not only from the artist's brush, but also from the elongation of the figures and their portrayal in various poses. This was a movement against the harmonious forms of the Renaissance up to that time. It is also known as the transition from classical art to baroque. Individual interpretations and free stances are important features of this style. Mannerism is an art style that emerged between approximately 1520 and 1580[1].
