‘In its broadest application, the term [“Mannerist”] is used to embrace all the arts, and would include figures as diverse as Michelangelo (1475-1564[ce]), Breugel (c[irca]1525-69[ce]), and Shakespeare* (1564-1616[ce]). In its narrower sense, it is restricted to a particular trend in the figurative arts of central Italy around the middle of the 16^th century [ce]….’
