I don't really know what Mentler's take is on the Mannerist atists. If he even consciously takes after them at all. It was more in case he was, and a general take on when artists claim to be inspired by mannerism of the 1500s, which again I'm not sure if he really is. I think because they read the word "elongated" in history books make their figures as strange as they do now, and often the most direct way towards that is to make them bony and malnourished-looking.

I guess I was speaking somewhat out of topic, but it was just something I found to be interesting.
