Mannerism Art is a term that designates the art era bridging the High Renaissance and the Baroque art eras. The Mannerist era is also sometimes referred to as the Late Renaissance. Running very roughly from 1525 to 1600, the Mannerist period of art is not without original artists, but in general was overshadowed by the pinnacle of creative genius achieved by the masters of the High Renaissance. To be fair, the political environment had changed, with Florence falling to the Spanish in 1529, Venice suffering decline after the Portuguese opened new trade channels with Asia, and the Counter Reformation bringing about a more conservative and reactionary attitude to the arts in Rome. Mannerist era painters include Sebastiano del Piombo (1485-1547), Correggio (1489?-1534), Dosso Dossi (1490-1534), Jacopo da Pontormo (1494-1557), Giovanni Rosso Fiorentino (1495-1540), Giulio Romano (1499?-1546), Benvenuto Cellini (1500-1571), Parmigianino (1503-1540), Bronzino (1503-1572), Francois Clouet (1510-1572), Giorgio Vasari (1511-1574), Tintoretto (1518-1594), Giuseppe Arcimboldo (1526-1593), Paolo Veronese (1528-1588), Federico Barocci (1528-1612), Sofonisba Anguissola (1532-1625), Alessandro Allori (1535-1607), Santi di Tito (1536-1602/3), El Greco (1541-1614), and Cristofano Allori (1577-1621).

Correggio was born as Antonio Allegri in 1489 in Correggio, a small town southeast of Parma, Italy. He was later known as Antonio da Corregio, or just Corregio. He lived most of his life in Parma. He died in 1534. Little is known of his artistic training and his work had little immediate influence on his contemporaries, but the dynamic style of his works are seen today as anticipating the Baroque art movement.

Tintoretto was born as Jacopo Comin in 1518 in Venice, Italy. He became known as Tintoretto, meaning "little dyer," because his father was a dyer. He died in 1594. Although he spent a short period in the studio of Titian, he was largely self-taught. The primary influences on his work were Michelangelo Buonarroti and Titian. He is considered to have influenced El Greco and anticipated the Baroque art movement. [More...]
El Greco was born as Domenicos Theotokopoulos in 1541 in Crete, which was then part of the Republic of Venice. He died in 1614. Influenced early by the Post-Byzantine school, he traveled to Venice in 1567 at the age of 26, then to Rome in 1570, before finally relocating to Toledo, Spain, where he lived the remainder of his life. While almost certainly raised in the Greek Orthodox church, he converted to Catholicism in Spain. Correspondingly, his work is seen as synthesizing both eastern and western elements. Unappreciated in his own time, he is now considered to be one of the precursors of Expressionism and even Cubism. [More...]
