"Saint James Major" is a notable painting by the Italian Mannerist artist Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, commonly known as Parmigianino. Created during the early 16th century, this work exemplifies the artist's distinctive style, characterized by elongated forms, elegant figures, and a sophisticated use of color and composition. Parmigianino, who was born in 1503 and died in 1540, is celebrated for his contributions to the Mannerist movement, which emerged as a reaction to the harmonious ideals of the High Renaissance.

The painting depicts Saint James the Greater, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, who is often identified by his pilgrim's attire, including a staff and a scallop shell. Parmigianino's portrayal of Saint James is imbued with a sense of grace and spiritual intensity, reflecting the artist's ability to convey complex religious themes through his unique artistic lens. The figure of Saint James is rendered with Parmigianino's characteristic elongation and elegance, creating a sense of otherworldly presence and divine inspiration.

Parmigianino's use of light and shadow in "Saint James Major" enhances the three-dimensionality of the figure, while his delicate brushwork and attention to detail highlight the saint's serene expression and contemplative demeanor. The background of the painting, though less detailed, provides a subtle contrast to the richly adorned figure, drawing the viewer's focus to the saint's visage and the symbolic elements of his attire.

"Saint James Major" is a testament to Parmigianino's mastery of the Mannerist style and his ability to infuse traditional religious subjects with a sense of elegance and refinement. The painting remains an important example of Parmigianino's work and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
