Parmagianino, a 16th century incel and his distorted paintings of women.

[RottingMentalIago]

Parmagianino was an artist whose name means “little one from Parma” and he was a manlet. He never got married and was one of the earliest mannerist painters.

What immediately stands out when you look at his self portrait at age 22 is that he, staring into a mirror with a slightly sideways and weird facial expression, looks like a Sperg. Not only does this 22 year old look like he’s about 14 but he’s got many of the facial features we now know to be associated with autism on his soft babyface.

His paintings of women are why I think he’s based. Whereas men are painted relatively normally, women are frequently painted in a distorted manner. Massive long necks, sloping foreheads- women basically look like aliens in his paintings.
His painting Madonna with the Long Neck is the most famous example but I think Turkish Slave is more brutal. Her eyes aren’t even pointing in the same direction.

Our man “the little one” ended up spending time in prison because after he was fired from a job painting some church or whatever because he didn’t get on with the authorities and was pedantic about how to do things, he carried on turning up to the job and continuing his own work by painting over the work of the new artists that had replaced him.

He died, 1540, after developing some illness.

one thing about painters is that you would expect them to be soy bug people mostly, you know, but then you look at actual painters and they are chaddy af, it makes no sense. A sizable amount of them started in shit like construction work. Caravaggio, didnt he beat a dude to death and had to run? I mean even nowadays when you look at people that run art schools like jeff watts or that asian concept artist feng zu? idk cant be bothered to look up, but they defenitly a big dudes with huge biceps. Steve Huston is another example, worked construction before becoming artist.

Very paradoxical. Another famous example is the death of Raphael, he alledgely bonked this butchers or bakers daughter and his penis got wrecked, its not quite clear, regardless he died young from fucking himself to death. Not what you would expect from a painter. Michelangelo was no bitch either. They are competitive af too, like Thomas Gainsborough for example - I was looking into how they fixated their drawings before modern fixative sprays. Gainsborough would dip his shit in skimmed milk, the casein will dry and fix the drawng, but he was all hush hush about it, like I said, they were competitive, always experimenting, tryna get an edge on other painters.

Btw I dont do art but out of curiosity I tried making fixative out of egg white, ive also made wheat glue and bound some books myself just to see. Making glaire from egg takes forever, I couldnt wait 6 months for the protein to denature ffs, but I got the gist of it. They also used this substance they got from glands in fish to set drawings.

Reading a whole blog post on The Little One yesterday sounded like a ballad to autism. When soldiers burned and looted his town they just found him sitting cross legged on the floor painting shit unaware that anything was going on outside.

I mean Parmigianino experimented with alchemy because it became his autism hyperfocus.

Not only that- The Little One even created a whole new art style that made it socially acceptable in art to paint things distorted. Without mannerism which The Little One created there would never have been anything except regular portraits made to look realistic.


We have experimental art styles because some autistic virgin manlet didn’t know how to draw women.
