In contrast to current and traditional beauty of the time, Parmigianino preferred to defy these well-established rules to express what surprising effects could be achieved. To show that he did not believe in conventional harmonies, one of his most talked about paintings is the epitome of his own unique style, \u2018Madonna with a Long Neck\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/imogenpettyfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11730\/2020\/10\/madonna-with-a-long-neck-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-62\" width=\"140\" height=\"215\" \/><figcaption>Madonna with a Long Neck (1534-5)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Madonna with a Long Neck\u2019 earned its name due to Parmigianino\u2019s ambition to make the Holy Virgin look graceful and elegant by giving her a swan-like neck. He stretches and lengthens the human body\u2019s proportion, as if looking through a distorted lens. Some find it almost offensive because of how the sacred subject is treated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In unity with the unnatural forms, the arrangements of the painting also shows his skepticism in conventional harmonies. Instead of evenly distributing the figures on both sides of the madonna, he wedged a crowd of angels into the corner, and left the other side wide open.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/imogenpettyfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11730\/2020\/10\/vision-of-st.-Jerome.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-63\" width=\"136\" height=\"143\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/imogenpettyfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11730\/2020\/10\/vision-of-st.-Jerome.jpg 420w, https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/imogenpettyfer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11730\/2020\/10\/vision-of-st.-Jerome-284x300.jpg 284w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 136px) 100vw, 136px\" \/><figcaption>Vision of St. Jerome<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Parmigianino had a method to his madness. He wanted to be unorthodox, to show that the traditional approach is not the only solution.
