Madonna with the Long Neck is an oil on panel painting created by Parmigianino between 1534 and 1540. The work was commissioned by Elena Baiardi for the funerary chapel of her family in the church of Santa Maria dei Servi in Parma. It is considered one of the most significant examples of Mannerist painting and marks a late period in Parmigianino's career, during which he experimented with elongated proportions and complex compositions. The painting presents the Virgin Mary seated on a throne, holding the Christ Child, whose body is notably elongated.

Mary’s neck and fingers are also unusually long, contributing to the stylized elegance characteristic of Mannerism. A group of angels crowd to the left, their forms overlapping and intertwined, while a single, small figure of Saint Jerome appears in the background at the lower right, holding a scroll. The architectural setting includes a tall, solitary column, and the drapery and fabrics are rendered in soft, luminous colors, with a strong contrast between the cool blues and warm flesh tones. After its completion, Madonna with the Long Neck remained in Parma until it was transferred to Florence, where it is now part of the collection of the Gallerie degli Uffizi.

The painting was left unfinished at the artist’s death in 1540, as evidenced by some incomplete areas, particularly in the lower right. It has been widely studied and exhibited, and is recognized as a defining work of the Italian Mannerist movement.
