Abstract
What I will be concerned with, for the most part, is the recurring
tendency to revert to irrationality and the results of this tendency
in the development of Mannerism. I will concentrate on the earliest
Mannerists for they mark the true beginnings of the anti-classical
trend and reveal a stronger, almost adolescent , rebellion against the
stability of the Renaissance. These artists, Pontormo, Rosso, and
Beccafumi, unlike some of the later Mannerists, are still somewhat
free from the limited, overly intellectual "elegance" of "court art"
and are not yet drawn into the proto-Baroque and Realistic trends
apparent during the sixteenth century.
