The towering Madonna controls the canvas. Her hair is elaborately styled and she is shown to have very tiny feet. Her proportions force everything else in the painting into four small corners. Baby Jesus is abnormally long. The two figures dominate the piece.

distorted proportion and a complex composition
Italian painter Parmigianino (lived 1503-1540) painted Madonna With the Long Neck.
The towering Madonna controls the canvas. Her hair is elaborately styled and she is shown to have very tiny feet. Her proportions force everything else in the painting into four small corners. Baby Jesus is abnormally long. The two figures dominate the piece.
It is believed that in "Madonna with the Long Neck," Parmigianino painted Mary withdrawing from the Christ child to be unorthodox. He used odd proportions, frame-breaking perspective, asymmetry, and many other things to distinguish himself from the Classical artists to be one of the early creators of modern art.
