After Popham's book appeared in 1957, this is the next new, meticulous work and reiterates his argumensts in light of new studies and contributions. Revealed here for the first time are some very important unpublished ideas, constituting a valuable contribution to a more precise definition of Correggio and his work. These beautiful drawings reproduce the artist's position that anticipates, by almost a century, the vision of the Baroque. - from the preface by Federico Zeri.
