Young Christ 

"Young Christ" is a painting by the Italian High Renaissance artist Correggio, depicting a young Jesus holding an open book. The work, likely created sometime between 1514 and 1520, is known for its subtle lighting and soft, delicate brushstrokes, creating a sense of intimacy and spirituality. The youthful Christ figure with his gentle expression and the inscription in the book are reminiscent of the divine and merciful nature of Jesus Christ. The work showcases Correggio's expertise in sfumato, creating a hazy, ethereal atmosphere that adds to the painting's emotional impact.
