Description: | A copy of Correggio's painting in the Parma Art Gallery, which was commissioned in 1523 by Briseide Colla, the widow of O. Bergonzi, and later donated to the church of Sant'Antonio at Parma where it hung in the until the beginning of the eighteenth century. It is a much copied painting by Correggio, and probably one of the most copied paintings of the Italian Renaissance. Jonathan Richardson, in 1722, mentions ten copies in Parma alone. This version, believed to be by the Bolognese painter Carlo Cignani, is slightly smaller than the original painting. Cignani might have painted it at an early stage of his career. | Subjects: | figure; religion (Virgin and Child St Jerome) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Cignani, Carlo (Italian painter, 1628-1719) Æ Attributed to After Correggio (Italian painter, ca. 1489-1534) | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8818... | Go to resource |
