The Creation of Eve

According to archival records, Guidobono studied the paintings of Correggio during a stay in Parma and derived from him a pictorial softness and a gentle sfumato characteristic of the school of Parma at the start of the seventeenth century. Guidobono translated it into his own sensual style, as apparent in the present work.

We are grateful to Mary Newcome Schleier for confirming the attribution.
