| Parmigianino (1503–40) | ||||||||||
| Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, was an Italian Mannerist painter and draughtsman born in Parma in 1503. He received his early education from his uncles and later trained under Correggio, which influenced his unique style. Active in Parma and Rome, he became renowned for his elongated figures, sophisticated use of light and shadow, and graceful compositions. He enjoyed significant popularity during his lifetime, receiving commissions from notable patrons such as the Farnese family. However, his later years were marked by personal and financial difficulties, which impacted his career. He died in 1540 in Casalmaggiore, Parma. Parmigianino's blend of classical ideals with innovative techniques solidified his place as a key figure in the Mannerist movement, leaving a lasting influence on Renaissance art. | ||||||||||
