Excerpt from The Painters of the School of Ferrara
IN the following pages I have attempted to give a brief account of the famous school of painting that originated in F errara about the middle of the fifteenth century, and thence not only extended its influence to the other cities that owned the sway of the House of Este, but spread over all Emilia and Romagna, produced Correggio in Parma, and even shared in the making of Raphael at Urbino. Correggio himself is not included he is too great a figure in Italian art to be treated as merely the member of a local school; and he has already been the subject of a separate monograph in this series.
