Parmigianino, Madonna with the Long Neck, 1534-1540

Although I think Parmigianino did a pretty good job creating this painting in the Manneristic style that stood in contrast to other renaissance paintings, I actually think Madonna long neck doesn't appear unnatural at all. Now, baby Jesus on the other hand, appears a bit long when compared to other renaissance portraits of baby Jesus. If anything, it is the image of baby Jesus that makes this painting sincerely Manneristic. Nevertheless, this is a true work art.
