Antonio Canova was an Italian Neoclassical sculptor, famous for his marble sculptures.

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.
Annibale Carracci was an Italian painter and instructor, active in Bologna and later in Rome.

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