ANTONIO DA CORREGGIOTHE ASSUMPTION OF THE VIRGIN 1530PARMA, ITALY Correggio's Assumption would eventually serve as a catalyst and inspiration for the dramatically-illusionistic, di sotto in su ceiling paintings of the 17th-century Baroque period. In Correggio's work, and in the work of his Baroque heirs, the entire architectural surface is treated as a single pictorial unit of vast proportions and opened up via painting, so that the dome of the church is equated with the vault of heaven.• The vision of John the Evangelist• Unified perspective that works at

every angle. • Changes dome painting!
