Madonna col Bambino e i Santi Margherita, Girolamo e Petronio
Sala 18: Il Cinquecento a Bologna e il Parmigianino Pinacoteca Nazionale Di Bologna 1529 INV 588
Descrizione opera
Made for the convent of Santa Margherita, the painting fits perfectly into the religious context of the female monasticism that prevailed at that time in Bologna. It is innovative for the choice of iconography that portrays the affectionate relationship between the Child and the Saint in the moment before the kiss. The figure of the latter implies a comparison with the older Correggio, but the fluidity of the drafting reveals a highly personal style, orientated towards rendering optical sensations and at the same time seeking sophisticated elegance.
