Item Number: 107509 Title: IL CORREGGIO nella camera di San Paolo Author: Barocelli, Francesco Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788837068141 Description: Milano: Electa, 2010. 28cm., hardcover, 372pp. illus., most in color. Italian text. Summary: Correggio frescoed the Camera di San Paolo between 1518 and 1520 but was not brought into the critical limelight until the 18th century, by Raphael Mengs. Since then, it has been studied by leading critics and art historians, from Longhi to Panofsky. This book collects all the writings on the famous work, offering a rich and fascinating interpretation of the cycle. Francesco Barocelli, a professor at Parma University and director of the Pinacoteca Stuard in the city, provides a detailed and accurate interpretation of the cycle in which heraldry and mythology come together with the utmost elegance. The ceiling of the dome is covered with a pergola of leaves and fruit festoons, and divided into 16 sections, with groups of putti armed with hunting gear engaged in a game with dogs, a clear homage to hunting and Diana, to whom the cycle is dedicated.
