Mannerism
Mannerism refers to a style of art and architecture that emerged in the late Renaissance period, characterized by exaggerated, elongated forms, intricate compositions, and a heightened sense of drama. Artists working in the Mannerist style often distorted proportions and perspective to create a sense of tension and instability in their works. This style is known for its emotional intensity, complex compositions, and artificiality, rejecting the naturalism and balance of the High Renaissance in favor of a more stylized and imaginative approach.
