Image description

The most ambitious commission of Parmigianino’s short career was the decoration of the church of Santa Maria della Steccata in the artist’s native Parma. This study of a nude served as the basis for the figures of the Wise and Foolish Virgins in the barrel vault preceding the apse. There, a row of these elongated figures are shown in subtly varied positions, with the gentle twists of their bodies expressing the elegance and grace typical of Parmigianino’s inventions. (recto).
