Question

How does Sofonisba Anguissola's painting The Chess Game reflect Mannerist conventions?

Answer 1

It conveys warmth and intimacy in a uniquely personal style.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because she painted an ordinary daily moment, contrary to the traditional religious themes or grandiose representations of the Renaissance period. Beyond this fact, there also technical conditions that classify this art as Mannerist, such as the uncared about the sense of beauty, the use of several perspectives points (different from the Renassaince art which uses only one), and the unconcern to proportions depicting tall, long and strange figures.

Explanation:

The better word to describe Mannerism is break up because it was a moment when artists attempt to be contrary to the traditional values incorporated by the Renaissance. Even using some of the features of Renaissance art, Mannerism creates a different art style with the use of colors that do not faithfully represent nature. The colors used in much of the mannerist works are cold, strange and artificial.
