Menarini Pills of Art Madonna with the long neck by Parmigianino

The Madonna with the long neck was painted between 1534 and 1540 by Francesco Maria Mazzola, known as Parmigianino. The figure of Mary is in the foreground, her melancholy expression can be seen, because she already knows the fate of her son. Jesus is portrayed as an already grown-up child, his abandoned position between Mary's legs, reminiscent of the dead Christ of Michelangelo's Pietà in the Vatican. Discover with us some details of this work that remained unfinished due to the painter's death in 1540.
