Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Mannerism is a period of European art that emerged from the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520. It lasted until about 1580 in Italy, when a more Baroque style began to replace it, but Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century throughout much of Europe.[1] Stylistically, Mannerism encompasses a variety of approaches influenced by, and reacting to, the harmonious ideals and restrained naturalism associated with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and early Michelangelo. Mannerism is notable for its intellectual sophistication as well as its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic) qualities.

The definition of Mannerism, and the phases within it, continue to be the subject of debate among art historians. For example, some scholars have applied the label to certain early modern forms of literature (especially poetry) and music of the 16th and 17th centuries. The term is also used to refer to some Late Gothic painters working in northern Europe from about 1500 to 1530, especially the Antwerp Mannerists—a group unrelated to the Italian movement. Mannerism also has been applied by analogy to the Silver Age of Latin.

The word mannerism derives from the Italian maniera, meaning "style" or "manner". Like the English word “style,” maniera can either be used to indicate a specific type of style (a beautiful style, an abrasive style), or maniera can be used to indicate an absolute that needs no qualification (someone ‘has style’).[2] In the second edition of his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects (1568), Giorgio Vasari used maniera in three different contexts to discuss an artist's manner or method of working; to describe a personal or group style, such as the term maniera greca to refer to the Byzantine style or simply to the maniera of Michelangelo; and to affirm a positive judgment of artistic quality.[3] Vasari was also a Mannerist artist, and he described the period in which he worked as "la maniera moderna", or the "modern style".[4]

As a stylistic label, "Mannerism" is not easily pigeonholed. It was used by Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt and popularized by German art historians in the early 20th century to categorize the seemingly uncategorizable art of the Italian 16th century — art that was no longer perceived to exhibit the harmonious and rational approaches associated with the High Renaissance. “High Renaissance” suggested a period of harmony, grandeur and the revival of classical antiquity and the term was redefined in 1967 by John Shearman.[5] The label “Mannerism” was used during the 16th century to comment on social behaviour and to convey a refined virtuoso quality or to signify a certain technique.

June 01, 2009

Many poker pros may find online poker a little too unfamiliar as they cannot use their experience of fathoming tells while playing poker in the brick and mortar poker settings.

Over time poker players become experts at figuring out tells and busting bluffs. But they tend to lose this advantage when it comes to online players as one doesn't get to see the other players, let alone decipher his body language! ... (read more)

13. On Line Poker Tells
February 28, 2008

In this article I am going to discuss certain online "tells" to look for when evaluating an opponent's hand. When I first starting playing poker on the internet, I never even fathomed there is such a thing as a virtual or on-line "tell". How wrong I was. If you are new to poker, a "tell" is an act, gesture or mannerism that a poker player displays when trying to disguise the strength of their hand. In a live game, for example, a player may act weak when he is strong, say various things, stare at you, throw his chips in the middle etc... All of these actions are "tells" and can provide you...

14. Malicious Quirk
March 14, 2007

I clearly recall a conversation with a close girlfriend after our first date. She asked me what I thought of him and I blurted out “Quirky.” We exchanged laughs and I gave her a dissection of an odd mannerism I had noticed. We both concluded that “Quirky can be good.” It never traversed my mind “When Quirky can be bad.” That was first time I ever used “Quirky” to describe someone. That conversation stuck with me ever since and that was a few years ago. It was on a routine stop that fate delivered me on the doorstep to the kingdom of hell. Since my recent escape I’ve added Malicious Quir... (read more)

15. The Outrageous Life of Benvenuto Cellini, His Own Words
November 24, 2006

Few men have lived life as full as late Italian Renaissance mannerist artist, Benvenuto Cellini. Born in 1500, Cellini would be thrilled that we still talk about his life five hundred years after his birth. After all, that is what he intended. That is why he began his autobiography at the age of fifty-eight, confident that history would remember him. And remember him we do, not only as a master goldsmith and sculptor, but as an author who wrote one of the most significant documents of the sixteenth century. Cellini began his riveting tale by advising other potential authors on how... (read more)
