4630 Antonio da Correggio (1489–1534) – Study of a Heroic Male Figure with Attendants / Étude d’une figure héroïque avec assistants – Copperplate Engraving (18th Century)
This finely executed copperplate engraving reproduces a dynamic Renaissance figure study originally attributed to Antonio da Correggio, one of the leading painters of the Italian High Renaissance. The central figure, muscular and idealized, stands in a contrapposto pose with arms extended, surrounded by three smaller attendant figures. The composition is enclosed within an oval frame, emphasizing its function as a preparatory or academic study. The inscription “A.M. Corregio inv.” indicates Correggio as the inventor (designer), while “L. Polito Sculp.” identifies Luigi Polito as the engraver.
Antonio da Correggio (1489–1534) was an Italian painter known for his sensual compositions, illusionistic ceiling frescoes, and masterful use of light and perspective. His influence extended well beyond his lifetime, inspiring Baroque and Rococo artists.
Luigi Polito was an 18th-century engraver active in Italy, known for reproducing works by Renaissance and Baroque masters.
