Renaissance And Mannerism | Vibepedia

Renaissance and Mannerism were two consecutive artistic movements in Europe, with the Renaissance emphasizing proportion and balance, and Mannerism reacting against these ideals with exaggerated and asymmetrical compositions. The Renaissance, which began in the 14th century, saw artists such as [[leonardo-da-vinci|Leonardo da Vinci]] and [[raphael|Raphael]] create iconic works that epitomized harmony and beauty. In contrast, Mannerism, which emerged in the 1520s, was characterized by its artificial and elegant style, often featuring compositional tension and instability. This movement was influenced by artists such as [[michelangelo|Michelangelo]] and [[vasari|Vasari]], who sought to challenge the traditional norms of art.
