Early humans created art because they were influenced by different aspects of civilization. These attributes could be animals or the vast wildlife (nature).
The characteristic of Renaissance style that was not abandoned is the naturalistic realism of the faces depicted in this work of art. Parmigianino's painting featured a sophisticated combination of colors and the rightful proportions of the body and face except for the long neck which made the artwork significant in its own way.
