Notes
A preliminary study for one of the seated apostles in the cupola of San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma. […] Only five drawings for the cupola survive: three studies of separate apostles which are respectively in the Albertina, the British Museum and the Louvre, another sheet of two apostles also in the Louvre, and a sketch in the Kupferstichkabinett, Berlin for what Popham believed must represent a quarter of the lower part of the cupola, depicting three apostles and their attendant putti, A. E. Popham, Correggio's Drawings, London, 1957, p. 29, nos. 11-15.
