Northern Mannerism
Style of Mannerism found in the visual arts north of the Alps in the 16th and early 17th centuries. It is characterized by dramatic gestures and figural arrangements; lavish costumes; vivid, sometimes abrasive coloristic effects; imaginative architecture that freely combines Gothic and Renaissance elements; and demonstrative technical virtuosity.
