    Venetian Renaissance and Mannerism

    The Venetian Renaissance celebrated artists like Titian and Giorgione. The city of Venice had become the greatest sea power in the Mediterranean. Around this time, the Society of Jesus or Jesuit order was founded and helped combat the Protestant Reformation. Color, texture, and pattern began to take precedence over line and oil paints became popular. Mannerism was a reaction to High Renaissance style that emphasized contrived, elegant, artificial poses as well as elegance.
