I am sorry, I would not call him a mannerist. Early Baroque, great chiaroscuro painter, very often provocative. Mannerism is usually defined by distorted figures, unrealistic color, exaggerated poses etc (as e.g El Greco).

During the Renaissance there were tremendous advances in the sciences as well as the arts. The development of oil paint as it is known today as well as one and two point perspective enabled artists to achieve artistically what had not been achieved since the days of ancient Rome. During the dark ages all western art was comprised of religious subject matter and done in the name of Christianity. Artists were simply craftspeople and had a low status in society. As the Renaissance and the age of humanism dawned artists were concerned with doing what had not been done before. There were a lot of science studies which concerned artists, such as anatomy, chemistry, alchemy, engineering, and architecture. Humanism replaced a totally God centered way of seeing man, which was reflected in the way the renaissance artists used materials and portrayed their subject matter. The flat space and styalized religious portraits became open with the use of one and two point perspective, aerial perspective, and the figures took on lifelike form in animated poses that included foreshortening techniques.. Artists often used real people to portray historical figures. Instead of the viewer seeing the artwork as sacred and seperate, the paintings of the Renaissance invited the viewer into the picture. While the representations were much more lifelike, the style is idealized, and symmetrical balance emphasized harmony and beauty.

'Before Raphael'. The Pre-Raphaelites were a group of British artists in the 1850's. They believed that the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art. Hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite" The group had nothing against Raphael as such. They thought he was a genius. But they were against the teaching of structured painting that had developed in the art establishment based on his work, such as triangular compositions which had almost turned art into an exercise in geometry, and the PRB considered it corrupting the Royal Academy and art in general. The 'ite' in the term Pre-Raphaelite is important. It shows that it was not Raphael that they disliked, but his followers/imitators.

Many Mannerist artists emphasize elongated proportions in their figures to draw attention to their skill in manipulating anatomical forms and creating exaggerated, dynamic poses.
Mannerist artists sought imbalance and restlessness in their work to break away from the harmony and order of the High Renaissance. They aimed to challenge conventions and create a sense of tension and drama in their artworks, often using elongated forms, exaggerated poses, and complex compositions to express emotional intensity and expressiveness. This approach allowed them to explore new forms of self-expression and innovation in their art.

A life model is a person who poses for artists, often in figure drawing or painting classes. Life models typically hold poses for extended periods to allow artists to study and capture the human form accurately. They play a crucial role in the artistic process by providing a live reference for artists to work from.
