Antonio Allegri da Correggio

His name is actually Antonio Allegri but was called Correggio (because he came from Correggio). He was a part of the Italitan Mannerism movement. He lived from August 1489 to March 5, 1534.

He didn't especially have a widespread reputation during his life (though he was always employed). His work had Baroque emotion but mixed themes of mythology and religion. It is a little difficult to find a stylistic link in his work.
