<span class="mw-page-title-main">Parmigianino</span> Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker (1503–1540)

Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, also known as Francesco Mazzola or, more commonly, as Parmigianino, was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active in Florence, Rome, Bologna, and his native city of Parma. His work is characterized by a "refined sensuality" and often elongation of forms and includes Vision of Saint Jerome (1527) and the iconic if somewhat anomalous Madonna with the Long Neck (1534), and he remains the best known artist of the first generation whose whole careers fall into the Mannerist period.

<i>Madonna with the Long Neck</i> Painting by Parmigianino

The Madonna with the Long Neck, also known as Madonna and Long Child with Angels and St. Jerome, is an Italian Mannerist oil painting by Parmigianino, dating from c. 1535-1540 and depicting Madonna and Child with angels. The painting was begun in 1534 for the funerary chapel of Francesco Tagliaferri in Parma, but remained incomplete on Parmigianino's death in 1540. Ferdinando de' Medici, Grand Prince of Tuscany, purchased it in 1698 and it has been on display at the Uffizi since 1948.

<i>Madonna of the Basket</i> (Correggio) 16th-century panel painting

The Madonna of the Basket or the Madonna della Cesta is a painting of c. 1524 by Antonio da Correggio in the National Gallery, London. While it is a Mannerist painting of the Virgin Mary and the Baby Jesus, Correggio included naturalist touches in his composition, like the sewing basket that gives the painting its name.

<i>Holy Family with Saints Elizabeth and John the Baptist</i> (Correggio, Pavia)

<i>Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist</i> (Correggio, Los Angeles)

Holy Family with the Infant Saint John the Baptist is a small oil on canvas painting, attributed to Correggio and dating to around 1514. It is now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it has been since 1946.

<i>Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine</i> (Parmigianino, National Gallery of Parma) Painting by Parmigianino

Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine or Mystic Betrothal of Saint Catherine is a c.1524 oil on canvas painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Parmigianino. The work is now in the Galleria nazionale di Parma. Art historians argue that the work may be attributed to the period in which Parmigianino was painting his first works in the church of San Giovanni Evangelista, as also emerges from a recent restoration, which has shown that its technique is near-identical to that of Parmigianino - "no underdrawing, pigment use, descriptive speed, drafting of final shadows, using fingers and brush-ends as tools".

<i>David Before the Ark of the Covenant</i> C, 1515 painting by Correggio

David Before the Ark of the Covenant is a c.1515 oil on canvas painting of King David by Correggio, rediscovered as a work by that artist by Giovanni Romano in 1996, an attribution accepted soon afterwards by David Ekserdjian. It is now in a private collection in Turin.

<i>Adoration of the Shepherds</i> (Parmigianino) Painting by Parmigianino

Adoration of the Shepherds is an oil on panel painting by Parmigianino, executed c. 1521–1522, now in a private collection. The work was rediscovered by Gould in 1992 and a year later was exhibited at the Kunsthaus Zürich. Like Nativity, it was identified as a work of the artist's youth, whilst he was still strongly influenced by Correggio, an influence which only faded after 1524.

<i>Female Martyr with Two Angels</i> Painting by Parmigianino

Female Martyr with Two Angels is a c.1523-1524 oil on panel painting by Parmigianino, now in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, to which it was donated in 1913 by Baroness Emilie Margarethe Beaulieu-Marconnay, member of a family of bankers and art patrons in the city.
