Th
e elements of his style derive from his early experience in Mantuan circles, in contact with Mantegna and \b \cf4 \ATXht1203 Lorenzo Costa\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 , subsequently enriched by his encounter with \b \cf4 \ATXht1199 Leonardo\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 Æs \i sfu
mato\i0 , GiorgioneÆs stress on tonality and \b \cf4 \ATXht1201 Raphael\b0 \cf0 \ATXht0 Æs work. In the huge cycles of frescoes that he painted in many of ParmaÆs churches, he developed a new monumentality and a tendency to take Raphaelesque classicism i
n the direction of a greater immediacy of expression, establishing a more intimate communication between painting and observer. He achieved effects of vibrant lineation and chiaroscuro as well as great spatial dynamism that were to have a powerful influe
nce on the great baroque decorators of the following century.
