Delphi Complete Works of Correggio (Illustrated) - ebook

The leading painter of the school of Parma, Correggio created some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the sixteenth century. In his use of dynamic composition, illusionistic perspective and dramatic foreshortening, Correggio prefigured the Baroque art of the seventeenth century and the Rococo art of the eighteenth century. Correggio’s masterful use of chiaroscuro would establish his reputation as one of the leading figures of the High Italian Renaissance. Delphi’s Masters of Art Series presents the world’s first digital e-Art books, allowing readers to explore the works of great artists in comprehensive detail. This volume presents Correggio’s complete works in beautiful detail, with concise introductions, hundreds of high quality images and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
