A style that emerged in Italy around 1520–1600, characterized by elongated figures, unusual spatial compositions, and a deliberate departure from the harmonious ideals of the High Renaissance. Key figures include Parmigianino, Pontormo, El Greco—whose visionary View of Toledo distorts landscape into charged emotional drama—and Tintoretto. It succeeded the Renaissance, emphasizing stylistic virtuosity and intellectual complexity over naturalism, and was eventually supplanted by the Baroque.
