Bronzino was heavily influenced by mannerism, the creation of exaggerated elegance which leaves every body part elongated, smoothed, and milky. The Virgin\u2019s neck, upper arm, and fingers are all stretched past the point of natural composition. Upon close consideration, the pale cheeks with perfectly placed splashes of pink, dignified postures, and prudent embraces all turn supernatural. The aloof facial expression and lack of emotion further perpetuates a distance from the viewer. This supernatural and distant scene supports the ever-present history of the Virgin and Christ child. In a time when sexual relations and the physical toll of pregnancy are both seen as taboo, the virgin is idealized for her ability to create life without losing chastity. The painting promotes cultural norms of purity and ideal physical integrity.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"parent":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-343","te_announcements","type-te_announcements","status-publish","hentry"],"announcement_date":"Announcement Date: January 1, 1550","announcement_image":{"iframe":false,"url":"https:\/\/courses.bowdoin.edu\/art-history-2560-fall-2020-female-pregnancy\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/487\/1340\/11\/16424-e1608173342569.jpg"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
