Antonio Allegri da Correggio (1489 ndash; 1534); known as Correggio; was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the Italian Renaissance; who was responsible for some of the most forceful and sensuous works of the 16th century. In his use of dynamic composition; perspective and dramatic foreshortening; Correggio prefigured the Rococo art of the 18th century.Corregios experiments; in which imaginary spaces replace the natural reality; seem to prefigure many elements of Mannerist and Baroque stylistic approaches. He appears to have fostered artistic grandchildren; for example; Giovannino di Pomponio Allegri (1521-1593).Corregio had no direct disciples outside of Parma; where he was influential on the work of Giovanni Maria Francesco Rondani; Parmigianino; Bernardo Gatti; Francesco Madonnina; and Giorgio Gandini del Grano.
