A century after Correggio's death, his work was well kno ...

In addition to his religious art, he produced a set of 4 mythological masterpiece paintings centered around the Loves of Jupiter as itemized in Ovid's Metamorphosis. The set was commisioned by Federico Gonzaga II of Mantua and intended as a gift to the visiting Holy Roman Emperor Charles I; thus, within a few years of completion(c 1532), these paintings had left Italy, and thus were likely not influential to subsequent painting in Italy. They are stunning and elegantly sensous. "Leda and the Swan", now in the Staatliche Museen ...

The city was most probably founded and named by the Etruscans, for a parma (circular shield) was a Latin borrowing, as were many Roman terms for particular arms, and Parmeal, Parmni and Parmnial are names that appear in Etruscan inscriptions. Diodorus Siculus (XXII, 2,2; XXVIII, 2,1) reported that the Romans had changed their rectangular shields for round ones, imitating the Etruscans.

Vasari coined the term "Renaissance" (rinascita) in print, though an awareness of the ongoing "rebirth" in the arts had been in the air from the time of Alberti. Vasari's great work was first published in 1550, and dedicated to Grand Duke Cosimo I de' Medici; it included a valuable treatise on the technical methods employed in the arts.
