Correggio and Parmigianino owe part of their popularity to the extremely lofty quality of their drawings.  Astonishing works of art on paper, now to be found in the most prestigious public and private collections in the world, testify how, over and above their common roots, Parma's two greatest artists adopted a very different approach to the practice of drawing, Correggio's basically functional use of the technique contrasting with the incomparably richer and more varied output of Parmigianino, whom one might almost describe as a compulsive draughtsman.
