In "The Madonna with the Long Neck," Parmigianino paints Mary withdrawing from the Christ child to convey a sense of both reverence and emotional distance. This positioning emphasizes the tension between the divine and the human, highlighting Mary's role as a mother while also suggesting her awareness of the tragedy that awaits her son. The elongated forms and surreal composition enhance this feeling of detachment, making the viewer reflect on the complexities of motherhood and sacrifice in a spiritual context.
