The Renaissance had reached its heyday in Italy when the painter Antonio Allegri was born in Correggio. Great names had already given the new painting characteristic features. Above all, Leonardo da Vinci has shaped the return to the art of antiquity in Italy. The young Antonio slipped completely into the painting of the Renaissance. He was one of the most talented artists that Northern Italy produced. Out of pride and through a close connection to his home town, the artist called himself Antonio da Correggio and later only briefly Correggio.
Correggio convinced by a completeness of painting that showed only few talents. The artist mastered the craft of painting, he drew masterly and painted with a perfect colouring. When he painted Correggio's hair, he guided the brush with a unique accuracy and gave the harr a coloration that the viewer can almost feel the silky shine. The artist became famous for his numerous frescoes and ceiling paintings, which make the architecture of Italy so special, and for his numerous paintings. The artist himself was a strictly religious Christian and felt closely connected to this profession. Antonio liked to let bodies speak. Bodies that were characterized by soft curves and whose skin showed a delicate shimmer. A critic once said about Correggio that no artist treats colours better and has a perfect command of pigments.
The artist himself did not see in his works the skill that others attested him. His ability to capture the charm of Tuscany was unparalleled. The painting Leda with the Swan shows the beautiful Leda with Jupiter in the shape of the swan. In the background of the composition the gentle hills of the landscape shine. Correggio is described as melancholy. A person without real joy of life, constantly searching for negative aspects of life. An artist who painted for reward and not for the development of his creativity. Correggio financed the life of his family with his painting, a fate he struggled with, because more and more money was spent on maintenance. The artist himself was content with very little and became stingy as he grew older. According to a story, this is the reason for his early death at the age of 40. Correggio was paid with copper coins for a commission in Parma. It is said to have been sixty scudi, which were of good weight. The painter wanted to bring the money to Correggio. ...and, being frugal, he walked along the road. The sun was burning hot and when the painter tried to quench his thirst at a stream, he fell ill and got a fever that ended his life. © Meisterdrucke
