* Correggio was born in 1494, at Correggio, a small town in the Duchy of 

 Modena. His real name was Antonio Allegri, de Correggio, or of Correggio, ac- 

 cording to the Italian and French custom. He died in 1534, at the age of 40, 

 and was, therefore, cotemporary with Raphael, M. Angelo, Titian, &c. His 

 master in the art was an unimportant artist in Modena, from whom he learned 

 little, but formed a style of his own ; in which were united truth and purity of 

 color, grace, and elegance of design, sweetness of expression, and a superior 

 knowledge of light and shadow. He wanted only correctness of drawing to have 

 rendered him superior even to Raphael. The little Madonna and infant Savior 

 in the gallery at New Haven was copied from a copy made by Mr. West, from the 

 original, which is preserved at Parma, and is allowed by all connoisseurs, to be 

 one of the three finest paintings in existence : the other two pictures are the trans- 

 figuration, by Raphael, and the communion of St. Jerome, by Dominichino; 

 which of these three is the best, is undecided.
