El Greco showed Mannerist views through his extension and distortion of bodies.
Mannerism can be divided into two areas.
The 1st (to which El Greco belonged) was characterized by distorted bodies and less attention to the body (attention that the Renaissance payed A LOT of)
A prime example of this would be Madonna with a Long Neck by Pontormo.
El Greco demonstrates this perfectly in The Burial of the Count Orgaz, in which the heavenly sphere is extended while the earthly sphere is not extended.
By not extended the lower sphere, he shows Late Renaissance ideas. He only used the Mannerism concept of extending to show the divine-ness of the Heavens.
The 2nd sphere is one of relative seriousness. El Greco showed no characteristics from this period.
It's important to note that all throughout art history, one period clashes with the other.
Renaissance focused intensely on perspective and the human body, then Mannerism had no perspective and messed up proportions of body, THEN Baroque went back to perspective and depth and went back to a naturalistic view of the body.
El Greco used both characteristics form late Renaissance and mannerism through his extending of bodies.
He had a chaotic composition (characterizing Mannerism)
He had distorted bodies in Upper sphere of Burial of Count Orgaz (mannerism), but he incorporated Renaissance natural bodies in the earth sphere to emphasize diviness. So as far as distorting bodies goes, he wasn't for either side.
