by Correggio
Correggio depicts a playful putto (cherub) displaying a hunting trophy in this charming decorative work. The plump child angel holds up game birds, combining classical mythology with the hunting culture of Renaissance courts.
Correggio worked primarily in Parma, developing a soft, sensuous style that anticipated the Baroque. His graceful figures and sfumato technique influenced later artists including the Carracci brothers. Putti appeared frequently in his mythological and religious works, adding lighthearted charm to grand subjects. His illusionistic ceiling frescoes in Parma's cathedral and Camera di San Paolo rank among Renaissance painting's greatest achievements.
