New article 2009, a start.
The art term '''Mannerism''' derives from the [[Italian]] word "''maniera''" which means "''style''" or "''manner''". [[Giorgio Vasari]], a Mannerist [[architect]], painter and art-historical writer, described the period in which he worked as "''la maniera moderna''". The Mannerist School of painting is a period that follows [[Renaissance]] and precedes the [[Baroque]]; it is characterized by its intellectual sophistication as well as its artificial qualities. In the 17th-century ''"la maniera"'' was used as a derogatory term for the decline of art.
Notable Mannerist artist were: [[Michelangelo]] (in an extension of his art), Agnolo di Cosimo (Il Bronzino), Giorgio Vasari, the [[Annibale Carracci|Carracci]] brothers, [[Caravaggio]], [[El Greco]], Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Francois Clouet and [[Jean Clouet]].
Mannerism was also present in [[architecture]], literature and music.
