born: Correggio, Modena [now in Reggio Emilia, Italy]; August 1494
died: Correggio, Modena [now in Reggio Emilia, Italy]; 5 March 1534
His father, Pellegrino Allegri, was a tradesman living in Correggio, the small city in which Antonio was born and died. He was not a self-taught artist. His early work shows an educated knowledge of optics, perspective, architecture, sculpture, and anatomy. His instruction probably came from his uncle, Lorenzo Allegri, a painter from Correggio. He probably studied in Modena, around 1503, and then went to Mantua, arriving before 1506, when Andrea Mantegna died. Where Mantegna uses a tightly controlled line to define form, Correggio, like Leonardo, prefers chiaroscuro, a use of shade to imply form. It is also fairly certain that early in his career he saw the Vatican frescos of Michelangelo and Raphael. |
