The Ceiling of the Camera di San Paolo (partial view) is a renowned fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, commonly known as Correggio. This masterpiece is located in the convent of San Paolo in Parma, Italy, and was commissioned by the abbess Giovanna da Piacenza in 1519. The work is celebrated for its innovative use of perspective and illusionistic effects, which were groundbreaking at the time of its creation.

Correggio's fresco adorns the ceiling of the abbess's private chamber (Camera di San Paolo) and depicts an oculus that opens up to a blue sky, giving the illusion of a three-dimensional space where playful putti (cherubic figures) and garlands seem to float freely above the viewer. The fresco is framed by stucco decorations that blend seamlessly with the painted figures, further enhancing the trompe-l'œil effect. This illusionistic technique was a significant contribution to the development of quadratura—paintings designed to extend architecture—which became a popular element in Baroque art.

The fresco's iconography is rich with symbolism and reflects the intellectual interests of the abbess, combining elements of classical mythology with Christian themes. The center of the composition features the emblem of the abbess, a diamond ring with a yoke, which is held by the putti and symbolizes the link between the spiritual and earthly realms.

Correggio's work in the Camera di San Paolo is considered a precursor to his later masterpieces, such as the Assumption of the Virgin in the Parma Cathedral, and it showcases his exceptional skill in creating a sense of depth and realism through his use of light and shadow. The Ceiling of the Camera di San Paolo remains a significant example of High Renaissance art and continues to be admired for its artistic innovation and beauty.
