Engelskopf (Schule)

This angel head attributed to Correggio's school at the Bavarian collection represents the workshop tradition that continued his style. Correggio's angel and cherub paintings were among his most widely copied subjects, valued for their extraordinary softness and luminous beauty Oil on canvas, increasingly preferred over panel in the sixteenth century, offered greater flexibility for large-scale compositions The work is now in the collection of Bavarian State Painting Collections in Munich.

The head is rendered with the soft sfumato associated with Correggio's school. The warm palette and gentle modeling follow the master's approach to angelic subjects.
