Read it through once

14. Correggio: Antonio Allegri da Correggio, born 1494, died 1534. “He was the first master--the Venetians notwithstanding-- to take a scheme of color and chiaro-scuro as the ‘raison d’etre’ of a complete composition, and his brush, responding to the idea, blends light and shade in delicious harmony.”--Woltmann and Woermann’s ‘History of Painting’.
