Virgin between Adam and Eve, detail of 3660852, 1526-30 (fresco)
3660860 Virgin between Adam and Eve, 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 from Correggio's fresco, "Virgin between Adam and Eve". Located in the Duomo, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta in Parma, Italy, this masterpiece is a testament to the artist's skill and creativity. In this particular section of the fresco, we are presented with an array of symbolic figures surrounding the central image of the Virgin Mary. The four protector saints of Parma - St. John the Baptist, St. Hilary, St. Thomas (or Joseph), and St. Bernard - stand below her feet with expressions of awe and reverence. The uncorrupt Virgin herself is depicted wearing vibrant red and blue robes as she is lifted upwards by a swirling vortex of singing angels. This celestial scene evokes a sense of divine beauty and grace. Adding to the complexity of this composition are several other notable figures such as Adam and Eve, Judith holding Holofernes' head, and even perplexed Apostles standing around an empty tomb. At the heart of it all lies Jesus Christ himself – beardless yet powerful – descending to meet his mother at the center of the dome. Correggio's mastery shines through every brushstroke in this stunning fresco that adorns Parma's cathedral dome. It serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts who appreciate both religious symbolism and artistic brilliance.
