Jupiter and Antiope, Correggio, 1523, Oil on canvas, 190 cm x 124 cm, Musée du Louvre, Paris

The woman, enveloped in a panther skin, is as bright as a flame. The soft red tone forms the first halo, then the light blue draperies with a slight greenish tint form the second halo. The Satyr has a value a few degrees below that of the draperies, making it the third halo. When the bouquet is thus formed, Correggio surrounds it with beautiful dark leaves, shading towards the extremities of the canvas. These gradations are so well observed, that if you put the picture at so great a distance that you cannot see the figures, you will still have the representation of light., George Clausen, The Mind of the Artist Thoughts and Sayings of Painters and Sculptors on Their Art
