Madonna of the long neck (Parmigianino), baby is 4ft long, Mary’s neck is long, small figure in background with no depth explaining it, all of her limbs are long and elongated, top of her body is smaller with enormous lap/legs, Jesus is not supported and looks dead, meant to resemble the pieta (work where Mary is holding Jesus after his crucifixion), foreshadowing, seems to not really be sitting on anything, Parmigianino knows the renaissance conventions but in order to do something different he plays with themII.
