Parmigianino

Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, known as Parmigianino, was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker born in Parma, Italy, in 1503. He is known for his elongated figures, distorted perspective, and virtuosic use of light and shadow.

Parmigianino's most famous work is the Madonna with the Long Neck, which is characterized by the elongated neck of the Madonna and the exaggerated proportions of the infant Jesus. Another notable work is the Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, which features a distorted reflection of the artist's face in a convex mirror.
