AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Virgin of the Milk (or Madonna nursing the Child). Italian school of Correggio (Antonio Allegri da Correggio, ca. 1520-1525, whose famous version is conserved at the Prado Museum). Italian Renaissance painter, leading figure of the Parma School and one of the most innovative and revolutionary artists of the Italian Cinquecento. Although he spent the majority of his career outside the great artistic centers such as Rome or Florence, his mastery of light, compositional dynamism, and lyrical treatment of skin and fabrics placed him on the level of contemporaries like Raphael, Michelangelo, or Titian.
Technical Innovations and Style
Chiaroscuro and Sfumato: He perfected Leonardo da Vinci’s tonal gradation techniques, achieving extremely soft shadows, silky skin transitions (sfumato), and an enveloping atmosphere.
Perspective Illusionism (Di sotto in sù): He was an absolute pioneer in fresco painting for vaults and domes viewed from below, creating the optical illusion that the ceiling opens directly toward the sky.
Eroticism and Sensuality: In both his religious paintings and his mythologies, he infused a unique sense of sweetness, emotion, and refined grace, characterized by delicate faces and soft anatomies.
Forerunner of the Baroque and Rococo: His compositional dynamism, the upward spiral movement, and the dramatic handling of light anticipated by nearly a century the great audacities of Baroque artists such as Bernini, Pietro da Cortona, or Lanfranco. (Renowned Renaissance/Baroque Italian painter and architect of the Renaissance.)
Support and Conservation: Oil on canvas. Visible craquelure due to the tension and age of the pictorial layer and wooden stretcher. The signature is traced in red pigment (almagre/terra di siena) in the lower right area, directly on the final painted layer.
The work is in a gilded wood frame that is offered free with the purchase of the piece.
Total dimensions: 89 centimeters x 70 centimeters x 8 centimeters
Panel dimensions: 69 centimeters x 50 centimeters
For all shipments, a surcharge for packaging material applies, which is already included in the indicated shipping price.
The customer is responsible for any import duties and additional costs that may apply for deliveries abroad.
We strive to deliver your artwork safely and in optimal condition, paying special attention to packing and shipping procedures. If you have any questions or special requests, you can always contact Catawiki’s customer service.
