He studied the works of Michelangelo and Raphael in Rome, developing an elegant and refined Mannerist style. The \"Madonna with the Long Neck\" was commissioned in 1534 by Elena Baiardi Tagliaferri for the church of Santa Maria dei Servi in Parma. Although the artist promised to complete it in five months, the work was still unfinished at his death in 1540. It was exhibited nonetheless in 1542, with an inscription justifying its incompleteness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Virgin, depicted with elongated forms and an exaggeratedly long neck, gazes at the sleeping Jesus on her lap, prefiguring the Passion of Christ. The Infant Jesus is portrayed at an unusually advanced age, similar to that of a six-year-old, but with the baldness typical of newborns. Despite the sacred theme, Parmigianino introduces sensual elements in the elegant figures and clinging drapery of the Virgin.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe painting entered the Medici collections in 1698. A pink curtain forms the backdrop for the seated Madonna, whose long neck gives the work its name. The right side of the painting, characterized by an empty area, features a row of tall columns without capitals and an emaciated figure who could be a prophet or Saint Jerome. Next to it is a disembodied foot, perhaps belonging to Saint Francis, indicating the work's incompleteness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe iconographic choice is precise: the column symbolizes purity, as indicated in the Song of Songs, and the amphora, a symbol of the Virgin, prefigures the Crucifixion. The painting, sophisticated in content and formal, remains a perfect example of Mannerist art.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"trizio-h2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeel the history under your fingers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"trizio-body\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur reproductions are faithful to the original and printed on \u003cstrong\u003eprecious Amalfi paper\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a paper made exclusively from cotton fibers, \u003cstrong\u003ethick\u003c\/strong\u003e and naturally \u003cstrong\u003eporous\u003c\/strong\u003e, yet \u003cstrong\u003esoft\u003c\/strong\u003e to the touch, with characteristic \u003cstrong\u003efrayed edges\u003c\/strong\u003e that attest to its artisanal craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is still made today using ancient medieval techniques in the workshops of Amalfi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"trizio-section trizio-materials\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"trizio-h3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSublime quality materials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"trizio-materials-list\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"trizio-material\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"trizio-icon\"\u003e \u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3411\/1829\/files\/icona-amalfi_430x.jpg?v=1768411084\" alt=\"Carta di Amalfi artigianale\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trizio-material-text\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmalfi Paper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThick, porous, with typical frayed edges\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"trizio-material\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"trizio-icon\"\u003e \u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3411\/1829\/files\/icona-cornice_430x.jpg?v=1768411651\" alt=\"Cornice artigianale in legno pregiato\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trizio-material-text\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandmade Frame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade of fine wood, hand-assembled\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli class=\"trizio-material\"\u003e\n\n\u003cspan class=\"trizio-icon\"\u003e \u003cimg height=\"120\" width=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3411\/1829\/files\/icona-vetro_430x.jpg?v=1768411682\" alt=\"Vetro museale ultralucido\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trizio-material-text\"\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eMuseum Glass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe same ultra-clear glass used in museums\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint on handmade Amalfi paper with frame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSheet size: 30 x 42 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith frame: 32 x 44 cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: artwork printed on very high-quality handmade Amalfi paper with frayed edges, handmade beech wood frame\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrint on artistic canvas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: 80 x 60 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterial: artwork printed on very fine-grained artistic canvas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrame: Light brown, handmade beech wood and wood pulp\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Trizio Editore","offers":[{"title":"PRINT ON AMALFI PAPER WITH FRAME","offer_id":48529680236885,"sku":"ZTD8EK4YX57LQ","price":188.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"PRINT ON PICTORIAL CANVAS","offer_id":48529680269653,"sku":"V4FLA2MGDPEQY","price":168.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/3411\/1829\/files\/Created_with_Frame_Up_on_2024-06-12_at_15_26_39_GMT.jpg?v=1718206004","url":"https:\/\/trizioeditore.it\/en\/products\/madonna-collo-lungo-parmigianino","provider":"Trizio Editore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
