A very quick transformation in the Baroque style today is lightened and softened in the second picture by blending both Baroque and watercolour styles.

Today, I’m trying out the Mannerism style. It came out really well, so for the second, I simply got the AI to add a Mennersim-style frame. I’ve included a wee history on the Mannersim Period as well.
Mannerism聽is a聽style聽in聽European art聽that emerged in the later years of the Italian聽High Renaissance聽around 1520. It spread by about 1530 and lasted until about the end of the 16th century in Italy when the聽Baroque聽style largely replaced it.聽Northern Mannerism聽continued into the early 17th century.
Mannerism is an art movement that emerged in reaction to the harmonious ideals of the High Renaissance. It exaggerates proportion, balance, and ideal beauty, often resulting in asymmetrical or unnaturally elegant compositions. The style favours compositional tension and instability rather than balance and clarity. Mannerism in literature and music is also known for its ornate style and intellectual sophistication.
Mannerism was an anti-classical movement that differed from the Renaissance aesthetic. Initially praised by Vasari, it was later criticized for straying from natural truth. Mannerist artists experimented with art perception using unique characteristics.
Below is a comparison of the Renaissance & Mannerism styles.
