Parmigianino, Francesco

Japanese: パルミジャニーノ（英語表記）Parmigianino， Francesco

Born: January 11, 1503, Parma
[Died] August 24, 1540. Italian painter from Casalmaggiore. His real name was Francesco Mazzola. He studied under Correggio and became his best successor. In 1523, he went to Rome and stayed there for seven years, during which time he produced many works, and was also influenced by Raphael and Michelangelo. In 1530, he painted a portrait of Charles Kang in Bologna, and in 1531, he returned to Parma and was active there as well. His Madonna paintings, called "Madonna with a Long Neck" (1534-40, Uffizi Gallery, Florence) because of the long neck, have a form unique to Mannerism, and he used the delicate chiaroscuro of Correggio to create an elegant and refined style of painting by making full use of light effects. He was a prominent figure among the first generation of Mannerist painters, and had a great influence on the next generation.

イタリアの画家。本名 Francesco Mazzola。コレッジオに師事してその最良の後継者となった。 1523年ローマにおもむき，7年間滞在し，その間に多くの制作をするが，同地でまたラファエロやミケランジェロの影響を受けている。 30年，ボローニャでシャルル・カンの肖像画を描き，31年にはパルマに帰って，ここでも活発な活動をみせた。彼の聖母画は，首が長いので『首の長い聖母』 (1534～40，フィレンツェ，ウフィツィ美術館) などと呼ばれるが，マニエリスム特有のフォルムで，コレッジオ流の繊細な明暗法を生かしながら，光の効果を駆使して優雅で洗練された画風を繰広げた。マニエリスト第一世代の画家のうち，きわだった存在で，次代に大きな影響を与えた。
