Italian High Renaissance.

Painting: Mannerist (Linear), Realist Sculpture & Architecture: Scientific, Mathematical
The highest of the Mannerist artists is often considered to be Michelangelo Buonarroti, particularly due to his influence on the movement and his exceptional skill in sculpture, painting, and architecture. His works, such as the Sistine Chapel ceiling and the Last Judgement, exemplify the Mannerist style with their complex compositions, elongated forms, and emotional intensity. Other notable Mannerist artists include Parmigianino and El Greco, but Michelangelo's mastery and innovation set a benchmark for the era.
Michelangelo's early works were influenced by his study of the works of Florentine artists such as Giotto and Masaccio. These artists helped shape Michelangelo's style and understanding of composition, form, and perspective in his own works.
Jacobo Tintoretto reinterpreted Michelangelo's iconic painting "The Last Judgment" in a mannerist style. Tintoretto's version, titled "The Last Judgment," features dynamic compositions, dramatic lighting, and exaggerated forms, showcasing his unique approach to the subject. This reinterpretation reflects the Mannerist emphasis on complexity and emotional intensity, distinguishing it from the more balanced and harmonious Renaissance style of Michelangelo.
Artists used the style of elongated proportions and exaggerated poses primarily during the Mannerist era, which spanned the late Renaissance period, roughly from the 1520s to the 1600s. This style was characterized by a departure from the balanced harmony of the High Renaissance, emphasizing artificiality and complexity in both composition and figure representation. Prominent Mannerist artists, such as Parmigianino and El Greco, often employed these techniques to evoke emotion and drama in their work.

Jacobo Tintoretto reinterpreted the famous Renaissance painting "The Last Supper" in a Mannerist style. His version, created in the late 16th century, is characterized by dynamic composition, dramatic lighting, and a more expressive portrayal of figures compared to the earlier works by artists like Leonardo da Vinci. Tintoretto's "The Last Supper" emphasizes movement and emotional intensity, reflecting the Mannerist interest in complexity and abstraction.

The Germans, Dürer and Cranach.
The works of Michelangelo Buonarroti are often considered to reflect the high point of Mannerism. His later sculptures, such as "The Last Judgment" in the Sistine Chapel, and his intricate architectural designs demonstrate the elongated forms, complex poses, and emotional intensity characteristic of the style. Additionally, artists like Parmigianino and El Greco also exemplify Mannerist qualities through their unique approaches to figures and composition.
