1: The Situation in Italy
Is Mannerism a style of the sixteenth century? Is it the style of c. 1520-1600? Professor Pevsner. who was among the first to analyse Mannerism, considers these Questions in three talks which start from Italian art and architecture and then deal with the specific problems of Elizabethan architecture and the probability or otherwise of Mannerism as a style developing in Elizabethan England.
