St Thomas, detail of 3660852, 1526-30 (fresco)
3660858 St Thomas, detail of 3660852, 1526-30 (fresco) by Correggio, (Antonio Allegri) (c.1489-1534); Duomo, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, Parma, Emilia-Romagna, Italy; (add.info.: Protector saints of Parma: St. John the Baptist with the lamb, St. Hilary with a yellow mantle, St. Thomas (or Joseph) with an angel carrying the martyrdom palm leaf, and St. Bernard, the sole figure looking upwards.
Below the feet of Jesus, the uncorrupt Virgin in red and blue robes is lofted upward by a vortex of singing or otherwise musical angels. Ringing the base of the dome, between the windows, stand the perplexed Apostles, as if standing around the empty tomb in which they have just placed her. In the group of the blessed can be seen: Adam and Eve, Judith with the head of Holofernes. At the centre of the dome is a foreshortened beardless Jesus descending to meet his mother.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the fresco "St Thomas" by Correggio, located in the Duomo, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta in Parma, Italy. The artwork is part of a larger composition depicting the protector saints of Parma and various biblical figures. In this particular section, we see St. Thomas (or Joseph) accompanied by an angel carrying a martyrdom palm leaf. He stands alongside other saints including St. John the Baptist with a lamb, St. Hilary with a yellow mantle, and St. Bernard who gazes upwards. Beneath their feet lies Jesus' uncorrupt Virgin Mother adorned in vibrant red and blue robes, being lifted upward by a swirling vortex of singing angels. Surrounding the base of the dome are perplexed Apostles as if gathered around an empty tomb where they have just placed her. The blessed group includes notable figures such as Adam and Eve as well as Judith holding Holofernes' severed head. At the center of it all is a foreshortened depiction of Jesus descending to meet his mother. This breathtaking fresco titled "The Assumption of the Virgin" was masterfully painted between 1526 and 1530 by Antonio Allegri, better known as Correggio. Its intricate details and skillful execution make it one of Parma's most treasured artistic treasures within its magnificent cathedral dome.
