Frise de saint Jean à Parme

The fresco cycle covers the walls of San Giovanni Evangelista church with depictions of biblical scenes through expert use of perspective and light techniques.

Antonio da Correggio completed this extensive fresco series in 1522, establishing new standards for Renaissance religious art in northern Italy.

The frescoes demonstrate the connection between religious narratives and artistic innovation through detailed compositions that enhance the church's spiritual message.

Visitors can access the church daily to view the frescoes, with guided tours available that explain the technical and symbolic elements of each scene.

The frieze contains precise architectural details that create optical effects, making figures appear to extend beyond their painted boundaries into physical space.
