Mannerism is sometimes explained as "In the manner of Michelangelo"... since clearly the term: "Michelangeloism" is cumbersome as is "Michelangeloistic". But these terms also implies too much because while Michelangelo had a strong influence on the art of the last thre quarters of the sixteenth century, many styles were tried. Some scholars avoid the term Mannerism and call this period the "Late Renaissance". Several artists in the High Italian Renaissance were experimenting with Michelangelo's style: Giovanni Savoldo and Jacobo Sansovio for example. |

Rosso received his early training in the studio of Andrea del Sarto, alongside his contemporary, Pontormo. At the end of 1523 Rosso moved to Rome which exposed him to the work of Michelangelo. The earliest works of Rosso and Pontormo showed the combined influences from Michelangelo and from northern Gothic engravings in a novel style, which departed from the tenets of High Renaissance art and was characterized by its highly charged emotionalism expressed in animated design, intense colors, and distortion of figures. In 1530, Francis I of France invited Rosso to Paris. He went to France from Rome, where he had been working, and he remained in the French court until his death. He brought the Renaissance and mannerist ideals to France, and became one of the founders of the Fontainbleau "school". |

Frederico was a Mannerist painter and art theorist. In 1565 Federico worked under the Florentine painter, architect, and biographer Giorgio Vasari. In England in 1575 Zuccari painted portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and the Earl of Leicester. After the death of Titian in 1577, Federico was probably the most famous living European painter. In 1593 he became the first president of the Academy of St. Luke, the painters guild. In his book: L'idea de' scultori, pittori e architetti, 1607 (The Concept of Sculptors, Painters, and Architects) he codified the theory of Mannerism. His late paintings are much more reserved in style, he had out grown Mannerism—even though to the last he was a spokesman for the style. |
