Antonio Allegri da Correggio, usually known as just Correggio, was the foremost painter of the Parma school of the High Italian Renaissance, who was responsible for some of the most vigorous and sensuous works of the sixteenth century.

He is considered a master of chiaroscuro.

Painters working under Annibale at the gallery of the Palazzo Farnese would be highly influential in Roman painting for decades.
