Giuseppe Arcimboldo | The librarian

Mannerism is a style in European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, lasting until about 1580 in Italy, when the Baroque style began to replace it. Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century.

Stylistically, Mannerism encompasses a variety of approaches influenced by, and reacting to, the harmonious ideals associated with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and early Michelangelo.

Leonard Cohen / Fabian Perez | The Stranger Song

It's true that all the men you knew were dealers

Who said they were through with dealing

Every time you gave them shelter

I know that kind of man.

It's hard to hold the hand of anyone

Who is reaching for the sky just to surrender.

E’ vero che tutti gli uomini che conoscevi

erano giocatori che dicevano di averne abbastanza

di giocare a carte ogni volta che davi loro un riparo.

Lo conosco, quel genere di uomini.

E’ difficile tenere le mani di qualcuno

che le alza al cielo soltanto per arrendersi.
