"Madonna with the Long Neck" is a painting created by the Italian artist Parmigianino in the 1530s. This artwork is known for its elongated proportions, particularly the figure of the Madonna, which features an unusually long neck. The painting combines elements of Mannerism, a style characterized by exaggerated forms and complex compositions. In the background, there are architectural elements that enhance the ethereal quality of the scene. The Child Jesus is depicted in the Madonna's lap, surrounded by angels, creating a sense of divine presence. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details contributes to the overall beauty and complexity of the piece.
