Vasari's celebration of the art of the central Italian cities of
Florence, Rome and Venice, has long left in shadow the art of
northern Italy. The economic and historical decline of the region
compounded this effect with the dispersal of the treasures of the
Farnese to Naples, the Este to Dresden and the Gonzaga to Madrid
and Paris. Each chapter in this volume celebrates a stunning work
from the region, among them Correggio's famed Camera di San Paolo
in Parma, Parmigianino's Camerino in the Rocca Sanvitale near
Parma, the studiolo of Alberto Pio at Carpi, and the Tomb of the
Ancestors in the Tempio Malatestiano in Rimini. The volume as a
whole offers fascinating insights into the tussle between the
maniera moderna and the maniera devota in the first half of the
sixteenth century, when the unity between the elegance and beauty
of art and its religious significance came under debate. Around the
year 1550, when Michelangelo's Last Judgement came under attack for
impiety and lasciviousness and the reformists called for an art
that would invoke in the viewer a devotional response that
identified manifestations of the divine with human feelings and
emotions. In northern Italy, it was on the foundation laid by
Correggio, with his tenderness and ability to evoke the softness of
living flesh, that the Carracci brothers built their reform of
painting.
