64 Antonio Allegri - Antique Engraving - Frescoes by Correggio in San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma
This engraving reproduces part of Antonio da Correggio’s frescoes from the dome of the Church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma. The composition features two muscular, bearded figures seated on clouds, surrounded by cherubs and celestial beings. The dynamic movement, dramatic foreshortening, and intense expressions are characteristic of Correggio’s innovative approach to ceiling frescoes, which create the illusion of ascending into the heavens.
Antonio Allegri da Correggio was a renowned Italian painter of the High Renaissance, celebrated for his masterful use of light, perspective, and illusionistic techniques. Born in the town of Correggio in northern Italy, he developed a highly expressive and graceful style that influenced later Baroque artists. His most famous works include the dramatic frescoes in the Cathedral of Parma, especially the Assumption of the Virgin, which showcases his pioneering use of foreshortening. Correggio's sensual mythological paintings, like Jupiter and Io, also demonstrate his bold approach to composition and emotion.
