Madonna della Scala (1523) is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, located in the San Paolo Monastery in Parma, Italy. This work is significant for its innovative use of perspective and light, which exemplifies Correggio's mastery in creating a sense of depth and realism in his compositions. The fresco depicts the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child, accompanied by angels, in a celestial scene that seems to ascend a staircase ('scala' in Italian), giving the artwork its name.

The Madonna della Scala is particularly renowned for its illusionistic qualities, as Correggio skillfully manipulates the architectural elements of the monastery's wall to create the impression that the figures are occupying a three-dimensional space. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, further enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene and contributes to the overall dynamism of the composition.

Correggio's work on the Madonna della Scala is part of a larger decorative scheme in the San Paolo Monastery, which also includes the famous Camera di San Paolo, a room adorned with mythological and allegorical frescoes. The Madonna della Scala stands out as a devotional image amidst the secular themes present in the rest of the monastery's decorations, showcasing the artist's versatility and his ability to infuse spiritual subjects with a sense of movement and life.

The fresco is a key example of Correggio's late style, characterized by a soft and graceful approach to figures, and a sophisticated use of color and light that would go on to influence later artists of the Mannerist and Baroque periods. Today, the Madonna della Scala remains an important work in the study of Renaissance art and continues to be admired for its artistic innovation and beauty.
