Something wrong?He painted Madonnas with necks like swans and bodies that seemed to melt and stretch beyond anatomy. That strangeness wasn't accident - it was the point, and it made him the defining artist of Mannerism's first generation.

About this person
Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola was born in Parma on 11 January 1503 and took the nickname Parmigianino - "the little one from Parma." His talent showed early and took him to Florence and then Rome in 1524, but three years later the Sack of Rome scattered him to Bologna and back home. He worked in fresco on church walls and palace ceilings near Parma, made outstanding drawings, and was among the first Italian painters to experiment seriously with printmaking. His Vision of Saint Jerome came in 1527; Madonna with the Long Neck in 1534, iconic and odd in equal measure. He painted portraits that broke Italian convention, giving sitters three-quarters views and full-length frames previously reserved for royalty. He died at 37 on 24 August 1540, his career brilliant and brief, cut short by war and early death.
