Mannerism is a style from the 16th century that suggested elegance, self-awareness, and sometimes artificial grace. Correct answer: B This style was an artistic expression of the unsettled political and religious conditions in Europe. It is named after maniera, an Italian term for “style” or “manner,” and refers to a stylized, exaggerated approach to painting and sculpture. This style is also known as the Late Renaissance.
