Correct/incorrect for each statement, with brief reasons:
- Parmigianino made distant figures appear far away from the picture plane. — True. He uses very small, oddly scaled figures in the background and an abrupt spatial recession through arches, producing an exaggerated sense of distance and awkward, ambiguous depth.
- The elegant figures in the painting have elongated proportion. — True. The Madonna, Child and attendant figures are deliberately elongated (long neck, fingers, limbs) — a hallmark of Mannerist elegance and distortion.
- Parmigianino placed the figures within a clearly understandable setting and space. — False. The setting is spatially ambiguous and compressed; scale relationships are inconsistent, making the space hard to read.
- The composition of the painting is simple and orderly, and has symmetrical balance. — False. The composition is intentionally complex and off-balance, with awkward poses and disproportions that disrupt classical symmetry and harmony.
