Correggio
The Renaissance Artist of Parma
Antonio Allegri more commonly known as Correggio was born in this northern Italian town in 1489. It is not known how much influence ( if any) other major artists from Rome or Venice had on his work. He was influenced by Mantegna's work in Mantua but, according to the great art historian Vasari, he never visited Rome.
 Details of his life are sparse but his major works were executed in Parma a world away from his southern contemporaries. We know that he married a a lady from his home town, Girolama Francesca di Braghetis, and had at least one son, Pomponio Allegri, who was also a painter.
