After Antonio Allegri da Correggio, Italian 1489-1534- Madonna and Child with Saints Jerome and Mary Magdalene (The Day); oil on canvas, 147.5 x 109 cm. Note: The larger, original composition, commissioned around 1528, is now held in the National Gallery, Parma, Italy (no.GN351), and is a companion painting to 'The Nativity' held in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, Dresden. Considered to be Correggio's most accomplished altarpiece, it was copied a number of times - see, for example, the 1724 version hanging in the chapel of Palais Rohan, Strasbourg. The composition and colouring of the present work draw on elements of the Mannerist style, which influenced much of the artistic scene in Italy in the early to mid 16th Century, and prefigured the peak of the Baroque period where the use of chiaroscuro came to dominate many altarpieces.
