Parmigianino

Parmigianino (Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola, 1503–1540) was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker, born in Parma and died in Casalmaggiore. He worked in Parma, Rome and Bologna, and is known for elegant, elongated figures in works such as the Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror, The Vision of Saint Jerome and the Madonna with the Long Neck. He was one of the first Italian painters to make etchings himself.
