Description: | This Pieta is believed to have been painted in the mid 1500s, when the Mannerist style was at its height. The unnatural, strained poses of the figures and the exaggerated elongation of the Virgin Mary are stylistically in accordance with Sabatini's work at this time - his later work being more classical in tone. Here the influence of the Mannerist painter Parmigianino is evident, both in the conformation of the figures, and in the artist's use of colour - heightening the emotional effect of the work. This painting is also attributed to the school of Marcello Venusti. | Subjects: | religion (pieta); figure | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Venusti, Marcello (Italian painter, ca. 1512-1579) Æ Attributed to school of Attributed to Sabatini, Lorenzo (Italian painter, born ca. 1520, died 1576) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8679... | Go to resource |
