Antwerp Mannerism Artist. Antwerp Mannerism is the name given to the style of a group of largely anonymous painters active in the Southern Netherlands and principally in Antwerp in the beginning of the 16th century.
The style bore no relation to Renaissance art or Italian Mannerism, which it mostly predates by a few years, but the name suggests a peculiarity that was a reaction to the classic style of the earlier Flemish painters. The term Antwerp Manierists was first used in 1915 by Max Jakob Friedländer in his work Die Antwerpener Manieristen von 1520, in which he made a first attempt to put order in the growing number of works from the Netherlands that were catalogued under the 'name of embarrassment 'pseudo-Herri met de Bles'.
Friedländer used the term Antwerp Mannerism here as synonymous for Antwerp style. Even though he added the location 'Antwerp' to name the artists and placed them in the year 1520, Friedländer made it clear that he did not intend to limit the group strictly to Antwerp and the time period to circa 1520, even though he was of the opinion that most of the pseudo-Bles' works originated from Antwerp and Antwerp workshops.
Friedländer placed the works attributed to the group in a time period between 1500 and 1530. Despite the name Antwerp Mannerism the style was not limited to Antwerp.
The style also appeared in the north of France and the Northern Netherlands. Although attempts have
