"Admitting and at times seeming even to force the possibilities of differences of style, he [Antonio Campi] was also able, when he wished, to force union on them, adapting Lombard verism to the styling processes of high Maniera. . . . Antonio's early inclination seems to have been to master the formulae of Maniera that his teacher, Giulio Campi, had deduced from Emilia, but to make them more explicitly Maniera and more up to date. A dry elegance, more accurately reflecting the late Mantuan Giulio [Romano] in particular, invests Antonio's first recasting of his older brother's style. His goal went farther than this, however: to assimilate the learned and virtuoso language of the classicist Maniera observable in Mantua and in prints that had their origin in Rome."
