Correggio & Parmigianino. Art in Parma in the 16th century - audio guide

An exhibiton very much focussed on two giants of the Italian Renaissance - Correggio (Antonio Allegri, 1489-1534) and Parmigianino (Francesco Mazzola, 1503-1540) - who latterly based themselves in the northern Italian city of Parma and whose influence formed a school of pupils and followers.

The exhibition runs from the 12th of March until the 26th of June 2016 at the Scuderie del Quirinale, Rome, and brings together works from collections both domestic and international - clearly the two headline names dominate proceedings, but there are also works by pupils of the 'Parma School' such as Michelangelo Anselmi, Francesco Maria Rondani, Girolamo Mazzola Bedoli and Giorgio Gandini del Grano.

Correggio and Parmigianino saw a light shone on Parma as bright as that of Rome, Florence and Venice. Around 20 pieces by Correggio span his entire career, from religious works to mythological studies. Examples include the 'Barrymore Madonna' from the Washington National Gallery of Art, 'Portrait of a Lady' from the Hermitage, St. Petersburg, the 'Martyrdom of Four Saints' from the Galleria Nazionale in Parma, the 'Noli Me Tangere' from the Museo del Prado in Madrid, the 'School of Love' from the National Gallery, London and the Danaë from Rome's Galleria Borghese.

There are a similar of great works by Parmigianino, on similar themes with the addition of some of his extraordinsry portrait pieces. Works include his large 'Bardi altarpiece', the first work he ever painted at the age of sixteen, a monumental 'St. Roch' for the Basilica of San Petronio in Bologna, the 'Conversion of Saul' from the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, the 'San Zaccaria Madonna' from the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the rightly celebrated 'Turkish Slave' from the Galleria Nazionale in Parma, and his so-called 'Anthea'.

The exhibition is open from 10 AM until 8 PM Sunday to Thursday and from 10 AM until 10.30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, with the last entrance being one hour before closing town.
