Correggio

Antonio Allegri, known as Correggio (1489– 1534), ranks among the most influential painters in art history. For centuries the artist, who worked in Parma and its surroundings, was celebrated for his innovative use of light, his vibrant, cheerful figures, and his original reinterpretations of both religious and erotic themes.

Obgleich der in Parma

While his legacy places him on par with artistic titans such as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Titian, his name and works are less familiar to the general public today. Based on the unique collection of his panel paintings in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister and the restoration of Correggio’s Madonna of St. Sebastian the exhibition features exceptional international loans from all over the world. This first comprehensive survey of his artistic career ever presented outside of Italy, highlights Correggio‘ s mastery in conveying deep emotion and draws attention to his unparalleled ability to cast the divine in a convincingly human mould.
