Pub Year 2008, See images for condition. About the book >.>.> Seven Essays on Correggio by Eugenio Riccomini presents a deeply personal exploration of the renowned painter Correggio, reflecting on the author's initial avoidance of the subject due to the perceived complexities of the artist?s work. Living in Parma, Riccomini was aware of Correggio?s significant presence, having guided friends and colleagues beneath the magnificent frescoed domes, yet he limited his studies to lesser-known topics, feeling that Correggio's art was beyond his grasp?both challenging and potentially misapprehended in its appreciation.A pivotal turn occurs when Riccomini is appointed to oversee the restoration of the Duomo's cupola, a project halted amidst controversy. This responsibility necessitates a deep engagement with Correggio's work, forcing the author into a confrontational relationship with the masterpiece itself. As the restoration nears completion, the scaffolding that has concealed the painted paradise is finally dismantled, revealing the intricate artistry to a broader audience for the first time. Riccomini grapples with the injustice of only a select few having previously witnessed this delicate work, prompting him to advocate for public access to the site.To commemorate this unique opportunity, a pocket-sized guidebook is created, featuring a concise text accompanied by illustrations to enhance the visitors' experience. This guide serves as both an informative resource and a tangible connection to the artistry of Correggio, opening dialogue about the painter's legacy and the nuances of his work that might otherwise remain overlooked. Through these essays, Riccomini not only reflects on his journey of discovery but also invites readers to appreciate the subtleties of Correggio?s artistry, which can often be lost amid the grandeur of his reputation.…
