"Beccafumi takes an effective place within the new Mannerist style, then, only towards 1524 – a little later than the Florentines, and in a mode that is allied to theirs. But unlike the Florentines, his progress of invention in the style is not, as their tradition and intellectuality determined for them, involved with the problems of disegno. Structure is, for Beccafumi, subservient to more pressing interests, and his compositions tend to be accumulative or heraldic, or occasionally merely conventional. The source of his creation is a visionary sense of theme and narrative, bizarre and mystical, that belongs authentically to a tradition special to the Sienese. Transposed by Beccafumi into modern terms, this spirit has some resemblance to Rosso's, with the important difference that there is no grain of scepticism in it. What Beccafumi paints is visionary also in another meaning than that of spiritual imagination, in that he describes what he imagines as an experience of light – no light of nature, but a spiritual illumination made apparent to the eye, which veils matter and transforms colour into radiance."
