Mannerism is a European art period which emerged around 1525, after the High Renaissance period, until around 1600, when it began to be replaced by the Baroque style. Mannerism can be recognized by its artificial qualities. Some Mannerists purposedly altered (i.e., stretched, elongated) the proportions of their subjects or stylized their compositions with anachronistic elements to produce an artistic or emotional effect. Primarily, the Mannerism style is marked by a fastidious attention to detail, including textile patterns, folds, textures of different elements, as well as as a rigid, exagerated poses.
