Term

Mannerist: It is derived from the Italian word "maniera", much used in sixteenth century writings on social behavior as well as on the arts, to signify a style or manner in the literal sense but also the highly prized quality of stylishness which implied ease of manner, virtuosity, fluency, and refinement. Art historians use the term "Mannerism" as a stylistic label for the art produced from c. 1520 until the last decade of the sixteenth century.
