		Correggio is the most skillful artist since the ancient Greeks in the art of foreshortening; and, indeed, he was master of every technical device in painting, being the first to introduce the rules of aerial perspective.
		Correggio's early works are simple and naïve; later, in some of his church frescoes, he is more conventional; but he always possessed a wondrous grasp of figures in perspective di sotto in su, and gave to them unparalleled movement and grace.

	WetCanvas! - Analyze This: Correggio's Venus with Mercury and Cupid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Correggio’s earliest mythological paintings, Mercury Instructing Cupid before Venus (the ‘School of Love’; London, N.G.) and the Venus and Cupid with a Satyr, sometimes wrongly entitled Jupiter and Antiope (Paris, Louvre) were commissioned by Gonzaga court in Mantua.
		Correggio was indebted to the example of Leonardo for the softness of his modeling but developed his own confidence and freedom in the handling of oil paint, shown in his creation of a sense of living flesh emerging from the darkness of the landscape.
		Curiously, the overall posture of Correggio's Mercury is virtually a mirror-image of that of the Virgin (who definitely lacks a winged helmet :p), in the Leonardo.

	Danaë by CORREGGIO
		Correggio's masterpiece, Danaë, depicts one of the four stories in Ovid's Metamorphoses about the "loves of Jupiter", commissioned in around 1531 by Frederick II Gonzaga in Mantua as a present for Charles V (the other scenes are in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna and the National Gallery, London).
		Correggio's painting maintains a purity of style that never descends to the vulgarly erotic.
		Thus it reveals itself to be almost a prelude to some of Canova's sculptures and to certain neoclassical solutions: that sheet, rumpled so as to resemble an unmade bed became a model for a great deal of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century painting.

	Biography
		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 that were known all over Italy.
		The theme of the decorations is Diana, goddess of chastity and the chase, and the vaulted ceiling uses Mantegna's idea of a leafy trellis framing putti and symbols of the hunt.
		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 his most important successors, Lanfranco, was a native of Parma).

		It has even been observed that in the Adoration of the Shepherds the Madonna's "glorious smile is the focus of the whole painting." (107) The sweet traits of her face and gracious air communicate the Christian truth directly to believers.
		Correggio's singular style of joyous figures emerges from the painter's desire to unite himself with his production, to render the individual person of his labor.

	ART / 4 / 2DAY
		Born in Correggio, Allegri studied painting reputedly with an uncle and with Francesco Bianchi-Ferrari in Modena.
		Correggio's paintings are characterized by sensuous nude figures, colors that have a cool, silvery sheen, great skill in foreshortening, and originality of perspective.
		However, he was receptive to the art particularly of Raphael and Leonardo: his sense of ideal beauty and the structure of his compositions owe much to Raphael, while his handling of textures and light presupposes Leonardo.
