Antonio Allegri Correggio

Born: c.1490, Italy, Emilia, Corregia   Died: 1534, Corregia

Painter. Son of a merchant. His early life is undocumented and it is thought he was largely self-taught. Vasari records that he never visited Rome. He settled in Parma between 1518 and 1530 where he produced religious and mythological works including the decoration of the abbess's room in the convent of San Paolo and the dome in the church of San Giovanni Evangelista, the latter including figures in a sotto in sù effect. After the death of his wife he returned to Corregia in 1530 where he lived a simple, devout life
