information from the Kimbell Art Museum catalog

description: Hailed as the new Raphael, Parmigianino was one of the most influential artists of the sixteenth century, cultivating a mannered gracefulness of pose and physiognomy, combined with new and dramatic coloristic effects, that transformed the classicism of his Renaissance predecessors. In his Lives of the Artists (1568), Giorgio Vasari observed that Parmigianino “gave to his figures . . . a certain loveliness, sweetness, and charm in their attitudes which were particularly his own.”
