Mannerism. C16 style of architecture from the period of Michelangelo identified by the employment of Classical elements in a strange or abnormal way, or out of context, such as slipping triglyphs or keystones, columns inserted in deep apertures in walls and seemingly supported on consoles, and distortion of aedicules and other features, as in Giulio Romano's buildings in Mantua or Michelangelo's work at San Lorenzo, Florence. In Northern Europe the works carried out by the School of Fontainebleau contributed to a peculiarly inventive Mannerism evolved in the Low Countries (especially in Antwerp and Flanders generally), where cartouches, grotesque decoration, herms, swags, and terms were used in abundance, and examples published in pattern-books, influencing design in Germany, the British Isles, and elsewhere.
