The Ceiling of the Camera di San Paolo is a masterpiece of Renaissance art painted by the Italian artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, commonly known as Correggio. This fresco is located in the Camera di San Paolo (Room of Saint Paul) at the Monastery of St. Paul in Parma, Italy. Painted around 1519, the work exemplifies Correggio's innovative use of perspective and his ability to create the illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat surface.

Correggio's fresco covers the vaulted ceiling of the abbess's room, which was then occupied by Giovanna Piacenza from the powerful local family. The artist transformed the ceiling into an open pergola by painting a series of lunettes and fictive architecture that appear to open to the sky. The oculus at the center of the ceiling is surrounded by a ring of intricately painted trelliswork, vines, and putti (cherubic figures), which seem to frolic in a heavenly garden. The illusionism is further enhanced by the inclusion of the abbess's patron saint, St. Paul, who is depicted in a medallion at the center of the composition.

Correggio's work on the Ceiling of the Camera di San Paolo is notable for its departure from the more static and hierarchical compositions of the High Renaissance. Instead, it embraces a dynamic and playful arrangement that would come to influence the development of Baroque ceiling painting. The fresco is celebrated for its lightness, grace, and the virtuosity of its foreshortening, which creates a convincing illusion of depth and space. It stands as a testament to Correggio's skill as a painter and his contribution to the evolution of Western art.

The Ceiling of the Camera di San Paolo is an important work in the oeuvre of Correggio and remains a significant example of the transition from Renaissance to Mannerist aesthetics. It continues to attract scholars and art enthusiasts alike, who are drawn to its beauty and its place in the history of art.
