This fresco, "Saint John the Evangelist", was painted by the Italian artist Correggio, known for his mastery of light and color. The artwork depicts the apostle John ascending into Heaven surrounded by angels and other figures. The central figure of John, bathed in a radiant light, is a hallmark of Correggio's style, showcasing his ability to create a sense of depth and movement through the use of perspective and foreshortening. The swirling clouds and dynamic composition contribute to the overall feeling of ascension and divine presence.
