Correggio
Said to be one of the boldest, revolutionary artists of Italy’s High Renaissance, Correggio’s work can be at times intensely religious and at others, sensual. Born in the small town of Correggio, in Italy’s Emilia-Romanga region, the artist was named Il Correggio after his birthplace.

Perhaps his most recognized influence was that of Italian artist, Andrea Mantegna (1431 – 1506), whose work in spatial illusionism greatly influenced Correggio’s ceiling frescos in Parma, Italy.
