Painting Description
"The Madonna with the Long Neck" (Italian: Madonna dal collo lungo), also known as "Madonna and Child with Angels and St. Jerome," is an Italian Mannerist painting completed by Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, better known as Parmigianino, in the mid-16th century. The painting, which measures 216 cm × 132 cm (85 in × 52 in), is housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
This iconic work, begun in 1534 and left unfinished upon Parmigianino's death in 1540, is renowned for its unconventional representation of the Virgin Mary. The painting is characterized by the elongated proportions and elegant, serpentine poses that are typical of the Mannerist style, which sought to break away from the balanced and harmonious compositions of the High Renaissance. The Madonna's exaggeratedly long neck, which gives the painting its name, and her languid pose create an ethereal and otherworldly effect. She is depicted with an oversized figure, holding a disproportionately small Christ child on her lap, further emphasizing the stylized distortions.
The composition is notable for its lack of spatial coherence, with figures of varying scales and an unfinished column on the right side of the canvas contributing to the dreamlike and enigmatic quality of the scene. The angelic figures crowded around the Madonna add to the sense of movement and disquiet, while the figure of St. Jerome in the background offers a stark contrast with his contemplative pose.
"The Madonna with the Long Neck" is considered a masterpiece of Mannerism and reflects Parmigianino's innovative approach to composition, form, and perspective. Its influence can be seen in the work of later artists who embraced the Mannerist aesthetic, and it remains a subject of study for art historians interested in the evolution of European art during the 16th century.
