The frescoes in the church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma, particularly the scene of St. John the Evangelist, are among the most significant works of the Italian Renaissance painter Antonio Allegri da Correggio. These frescoes adorn the dome and lunettes of the church's crossing and were executed between 1520 and 1524. The commission for this work was part of a larger project of renovation following an earthquake that had damaged the church in 1501.

Correggio's frescoes in San Giovanni Evangelista showcase his mastery of illusionistic ceiling painting, which would later influence the development of Baroque art. The scene of St. John the Evangelist is a testament to Correggio's innovative use of perspective and his ability to create a sense of three-dimensionality on a flat surface. The fresco depicts the moment of St. John's vision as described in the Book of Revelation, with the Evangelist himself often interpreted as being in a trance or rapture.

The dome features a complex arrangement of figures, including angels and elders from the Apocalypse, set against a backdrop of swirling clouds and divine light. Correggio's skillful use of chiaroscuro and foreshortening techniques enhances the dramatic effect and the sensation of movement within the composition. The figures appear to occupy real space, seemingly breaking free from the architectural confines of the dome.

The frescoes in San Giovanni Evangelista are considered one of Correggio's masterpieces and mark a significant moment in the history of Italian Renaissance art. They demonstrate the artist's departure from the more static and hierarchical compositions of his predecessors and his embrace of a more dynamic and emotive approach to religious narrative. The work in San Giovanni Evangelista would go on to have a profound impact on later artists, including the likes of Giovanni Lanfranco and Francesco Borromini, who would push the boundaries of illusionistic ceiling painting even further in the 17th century.

Today, the frescoes remain a major attraction for visitors to Parma and an important subject of study for art historians interested in the development of Renaissance art and the early expressions of the Baroque style.
