  Antonio Da Correggio
Antonio Allegri da Correggio (Correggio, Italy August 1489 – March 5, 1534) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance.
Correggio's first major commission was the ceiling of the private dining salon of the mother-superior of the Convent of St Paul, called the Camera di San Paolo (Parma).
Correggio was remebered by his contemporaries as a shadowy, melancholic and introverted character, which was probably conditioned by his birth into a numerous and poor family.

 Life Of Antonio Da Correggio
Antonio da Correggio's pedigree goes back to a certain Allegro, who lived in 1329 ; the painter himself was the son of Pellegrino Allegri, and his wife Bernardina Piazzoli of the family of the Aromani.
Antonio is generally supposed to have been born in 1494, but documentary evidence to prove this is wanting.
Antonio was evidently born with a genius for art, which, like a flower, expanded naturally, and bloomed in its native soil.

 Antonio da Correggio Summary
Correggio was selective in what he adapted from their work, and he succeeded, in his most ambitious paintings, in reconciling and putting to splendid use the often conflicting lessons in the greatness of art that may be drawn from Raphael's Stanza della Segnatura and Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Correggio's second commission was the decoration of the cupola, apse, and frieze of the church of S. Giovanni Evangelista (1520-1524).
Correggio was famous in his lifetime, but since his works, especially the great frescoes in Parma, were in out-of-the-way places, he was at first more readily praised than seriously studied.

 Antonio Da Correggio - Frescoes
Up to the year 1518, Correggio had been refining his style- in oil painting, but now he was to have a wider field of art.
Correggio also painted a Coronation of the Virgin in the apse of the tribune in the same church, but this had a very short life, being destroyed in 1587 when the church was enlarged.
The human form divine is Correggio's ideal, and he gives it in the most free and unrestrained action, so much so that his angels, instead of floating in ether, are stampeding through space.

 Antonio Da Correggio - Design And Composition
Correggio's drawing appears to be formed on one principle—to avoid angles, and keep only to the most graceful curves ; his child-angels have rounded forms, his women sinuous attitudes.
The hardness of outline in the dress of his men is generally counteracted by a loosely flying scarf or draped mantle, such as in the Joseph of Arimathea in The Deposition at Parma, and the St. Joseph in The Repose in Egypt.
There was always a touch of paganism even in Correggio's religious pictures, and yet he was too naturalistic ever to be truly classic, for classic art is restrained and impersonal.

correggio may well have visited rome early in his career, although vasari maintains that he never went there and the obvious inspiration of the paintings of raphael and michelangelo could be accounted for by drawings and prints which were known all over italy.
paolo ceiling was followed by two dome paintings in which correggio developed the illusionist conception -- already used by mantegna -- of depicting a scene as though it were actually taking place in the sky above (sotto in su).
these works reveal correggio as one of the boldest and most inventive artists of the high renaissance and they were highly influential on the development of baroque dome painting (one of the most important successors, lanfranco, was a native of parma).

 Antonio da Correggio
Antonio Allegri da Correggio (Correggio, Italy August 1489 – March 5, 1534) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance.
Correggio is an enigmatically eclectic provincial painter; he appears to have emerged out of no major apprenticeship, and had little immediate influence in apprenticed successors, but his works are now considered to have been revolutionary and influential to subsequent artists.
There are echoes of Mantegna's style in his work, and he was influenced also by Lorenzo Costa and Leonardo da Vinci.
