Italian Mannerism - a Break in Perspective

on BBC Radio 3

by DR R. A. WEALE , Reader in Physiological Optics, University of London.
From the vantage point of his own interest in problems of vision Dr Weale speculates on the way in which some Italian Mannerist painters such as Pontormo and Parmigianino may have arrived at the distortions of space which are such a feature of their painting.
