In the Western art history, Mannerism of the Sixteenth century is always the unfavorable art trend. In addition, it is in a difficult position right after the splendid Renaissance in the Fifteenth century. Nevertheless, there is no right or wrong, good or bad about the art style. Reflecting the look and taste of the society, the art style is merely the product that closely related to the atmosphere in that era. After the Seventeenth century, Mannerism keeps being criticizing. Until the beginning of Twentieth century, there are scholars and artists that attach importance to this art phenomenon again, reversing the negative and stereotyped image that Mannerism always gives to the public.

In the beginning, he inherited the classical style from the Renaissance; afterwards, he tried to seek more stylish vocabularies. Not limited under the restrictions of perspective, rationalism and regulations that being emphasized in the Renaissance, he gave paintings diverse faces. Agnolo Bronzino, Pontormo’s disciple, enhanced Mannerism left by Pontormo. They not only created important Italian art style in the Sixteenth century, also became the most famous and representative Mannerism painters in the art history.
