"Domenico Beccafumi – With Sodoma, the leading Sienese painter of the late 16th century, although a more intelligent, sensitive and consistent artist. Labelled a Mannerist, he can now be seen to have assimilated Florentine, Umbrian and Roman influences into a Sienese idiom traceable back to the Gothic art of Duccio. All of Beccafumi's work, despite internal evolution and change, combines calligraphic line and rhythmic contours with intense colourism. Probably more than any other artist of his time he exploits contre-jour and lighting effects."
