In "The Madonna with the Long Neck," Parmigianino depicts Mary with an elongated neck and a stylized, graceful form to emphasize her elegance and the divine nature of her motherhood. The way she draws attention to the Christ child highlights the importance of their relationship and the child's significance in Christian theology. This composition reflects the Mannerist style, which seeks to evoke emotional response and beauty through exaggerated proportions and unusual perspectives. The painting ultimately serves to elevate Mary and Christ in their sacred roles.
