From Library Journal
Correggio is unique in his blending of late Renaissance and Mannerist ideas. Much of the scant information about him is drawn from wills, letters, and other third-party documents and presents a challenge to anyone working on it. Using his doctoral thesis on Correggio's altarpieces as a base, Ekserdjian expands his analytical involvement with the artist's work and explores the influences on him by such icons as Mantegna, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael. The text consists of an introduction and 12 chapters in four parts focusing on the full range of the artist's work from his earliest paintings to the cupola of the Parma Cathedral and the mythology paintings. Engaging the scholarship of his predecessors, Ekserdjian documents the arguments that surround the artist's work. There are 299 illustrations throughout, more than half in colorAenough to satisfy the discerning eye. Much about Correggio has been revealed in the last 20 years, both in research and restoration, making this book appealing to all students of 16th-century painting. Recommended for large public, academic, and museum art collections.AEllen Bates, New York

From Booklist
Correggio is the twenty-second artist to be profiled in this reasonably priced yet high-quality paperback series devoted to artists of the Italian Renaissance. Each volume in the Library of Great Masters provides succinct historical and biographical information about the artist and his work, accompanied by approximately 100 colorplates including many full-page (81/4 inches by 11 inches) reproductions. The series, produced and originally published in Italy, covers the work of such well-known artists as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Donatello, and Raphael as well as painters who deserve greater recognition, including Pontormo, the subject of a forthcoming volume. These color-rich and finely detailed books are excellent introductions to the lives and work of remarkable and enduringly influential Renaissance artists and contain substantially more examples of their paintings and sculptures than a chapter on Italian art in a standard art-history textbook. And the price can't be beat. Donna Seaman --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
