1. Raphael/Correggio: What I learned in Rome.

1489 – 1532, active in Parma from 1516, in Rome in 1520 knows
figures in Raphael’s workshop.
• Agucchi – master of the beauty in Nature.
• Vasari – master of the beauty born from grace.
• Tenerezza, Vaghezza, Leggiadria, Lietezza – principles of Ecstasy OR
PLEASURE.
• Shares Raphael’s interests in Learned Invention, but develops
qualities of intense affect.
• The Antiquity of Northern Italian: Poetic.
• Ariosto – court of Ferrara – evocative style, intensely emotional
vocabulary.

3. Annibale on Correggio, 1580
• In commenting on Allegri's (Correggio’s) works in Parma, Annibale Carracci
located Raphael and Allegri respectively in the two stylistic polarities of hard
("cosa di legno") and soft ("tenero"). Although Annibale declares his
incapacity to elaborate on Allegri's style, he writes that his putti breathe,
with such grace and truth that they compel us "to laugh and to feel happy
along with them.”’ Annibale further states that Allegri's personal style was
his own conspicuous invention, thereby the mark of his own individual self
bound into his work. “Correggio's works were his own thoughts, his own
conceptions, which one sees he drew out of his own head, and invented on
his own, testing these only against the original. The others all lean on
something that is not their own, either on the model, or on statues, or on
drawings and prints. All the works of these others represent things as they
could be, but Correggio's as they truly are.” (Irony abounds in these
comments: emphasis on originality vs. Annibale’s later method, lieta (joy)
for the depressive and taciturn Annibale.)
