Oil Painting Adoration Of The Child Aft.Correggio
I am delighted to offer for sale a wonderful religious painting in as found condion with inscription on the stretcher verso stating ' L.Ponyuignoti Firenire Piazza St Croce 7670 '
( Either the painters name and address or the suppliers details )
AFTER ANTONIO ALLEGRI DA CORREGGIO,Maria adores the child.
Titled ' THE ADORATION OF THE CHILD ' oil on canvas,.Provenance Italian unknown artist and being owned in private collection and family ownership for last century. Evidence of old relining in the early part of the 20th c with some localised old earlier restoration, the pigments darkened with age in certain passages but of good quality 'Grand Tour' copy of Correggio's masterpiece in a fine antique Italian Florentine frame, the frame with old chip to the gilding that has been retouched in places and slight damage
Usually known as Correggio (Italian: was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the 16th century. In his use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Rococo art of the 18th century. He is considered a master of chiaroscuro.
BIOGRAPHY
Antonio Allegri was born in Correggio, Italy, a small town near Reggio Emilia. His date of birth is uncertain (around 1489). His father was a merchant.[citation needed] Otherwise little is known about Correggio's early life or training. It is, however, often assumed that he had his first artistic education from his father's brother, the painter Lorenzo Allegri.
In 1503–5 he was apprenticed to Francesco Bianchi Ferrara in Modena, where he probably became familiar with the classicism of artists like Lorenzo Costa and Francesco Francia, evidence of which can be found in his first works. After a trip to Mantua in 1506, he returned to Correggio, where he stayed until 1510. To this period is assigned the Adoration of the Child with St. Elizabeth and John, which shows clear influences from Costa and Mantegna. In 1514 he probably finished three tondos for the entrance of the church of Sant'Andrea in Mantua, and then returned to Correggio, where, as an independent and increasingly renowned artist, he signed a contract for the Madonna altarpiece in the local monastery of St. Francis.
