''Karma amplifier'' is appropos. Am starting a second blog if there is interest on your part to contribute. You certainly write well enough! When i think of some mannerist work, it reminds me of Art Spiegelman and some stretched out work he did at times.

The rise of the corporation & all the anxiety & feedback. Makes me think of Hamlet at school. A friend says today's millisecond era of social networking is actually a great karma amplifier as i think the mannerist period must have been whether one was trying to escape the waves or sound the depths. A fellow student and artist in 1984 had a rather secretive passion for the Mannerists and that highly performative church music you mentioned. Only the discipline of playing Scarlatti or conversation with her older sister seemed to remove her unease and render her persona without irony. Her sister created original work steeped in Renaissance & Mannerist style with equal measure precision and skill. Only now can i really understand it all. The throes of the church and the culture are all eerily similar today. Looking forward to Bruegel. In 1987 or 1988 i spent a few days with the older sister. She was in Belfast ME creating beautiful handpainted tiles the likes of which would soon be in the homes of all the upwardly mobile peasants of the 1990s, but never so beautiful as her work. -mason Quite a period.
