Art Period: Mannerism 

(c1520-c1610)

Mannerism began to develop around the time of Raphael's death in 1520. It flourished in Florence, Rome, and other cities, including Parma. Expatriate Italians, and artists trained in Italy, helped spread Mannerism to other countries in Europe throughout the 16th century, establishing it as the 'house style' of several courts. The period came to a close with the emergence of the Carracci family and Caravaggio in about 1600.- Art The Definitive Visual Guide
