Mannerism is a style marked by a departure from High Renaissance classicism, approximately 1515-1600. It is characterized by elongated proportions, exaggerated poses, and a lack of clear perspective, often resulting in compositions that are more expressive and artificial compared to the balanced and harmonious works of the High Renaissance.
