Mannerists: A Captivating Blend of Artistic Expression The Mannerist movement, which emerged in the late Renaissance period, captivated audiences with its unique and unconventional approach to art. Spearheaded by renowned artists such as Raphael and Michelangelo, this artistic style pushed the boundaries of traditional techniques and embraced a more exaggerated and stylized form. Raphael's masterpiece "Transfiguration, " created in 1517, exemplifies the essence of Mannerism. With its elongated figures and dramatic use of color, it showcases his departure from classical ideals towards a more expressive portrayal. Similarly, Alonso's polychrome sculpture "Ecce Homo" (1525) and the captivating "Sacrifice of Isaac" (1527-1532) demonstrate an innovative interpretation that challenges conventional norms.
