Correggio, Jupiter and Io
Steven: And in this painting by Correggio, Io and Jupiter, he's not becoming something else so much as enveloping himself in a dark cloud, even though it's bright daylight.발음듣기
Steven: It creates this wonderful sense of softness, even though it's just light, it's just paint.발음듣기
Beth: Correggio's obviously looked at Leonardo and thought about Sfumato and those kinds of softening of edges.발음듣기
Steven: But when combined with his background as a Venetian painter, thinking about light, thinking about color, you get this tour de force.발음듣기
Beth: This was commissioned by Federico the Second, the Duke of Mantua, a member of the very powerful and wealthy Gonzaga family, for a room dedicated to the loves of Jupiter.발음듣기
Steven: So this is a subject that was quite famous because of the poetry of Ovid, something that during the Renaissance was being revived.발음듣기
Beth: This painting along with it's pendant which is hanging next to it of The Abduction of Ganymede were both gifts to the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles the Fifth.발음듣기
And paintings showing Zeus, or Jupiter, flattered the power of rulers like the Duke of Mantua and the Holy Roman Emperor.발음듣기
Look at the dappled sunlight on her calf and the back of her heel and then on the front of her foot and along her back and her arms.발음듣기
Steven: But that feels so much more clarified and visually sharp compared to her flesh which is even softer in contrast.발음듣기
Her right hand, her fingers open up also as though she's taking him in, her body almost melts downward.발음듣기
Her flesh is so soft and her skin is so porcelain like and lovely, and I feel as though Correggio has offset that with this roots and moss and trees and mud and the water below her so that her flesh seems even more perfect.발음듣기
Steven: So as she's offset by the earthly, Zeus or Jupiter, is offset by the brilliant sky above and so you have this clarity and this notion of the heavens.발음듣기
Beth: And you can see how Correggio is going to be very important for later Baroque artists.발음듣기
The way that Io gives herself up to a kind of ecstatic experience, foreshadows what we'll see with Bernini, for example in St. Teresa in Ecstasy.발음듣기
