Alessandro Araldi, Del Grano, and Michelangelo Anselmi, who moved to Parma
from Siena and worked alongside Correggio and fellow Mannerist Parmigianino.
Every room has little signs, translated into English, that do a great job explain-
ing and contextualizing the works and artists, so I can just list some of the other
great names you'll run into: Fra Angelico, Spinello Aretino, Sebastiano del
Piombo, Tintoretto, Il Guercino, El Greco, Tiepolo, Canaletto, and several
members of the Carracci clan (Agostino even contrived to die here in Parma).
Marie-Louise's tastes were worldly, and she collected works from north of the Alps
as well, including one of Hans Holbein the Younger's most famous portraits,
Erasmus,
along with a small collection of canvases by Jan and Pieter Brueghel the
Younger, Paul Brill, and van Dyck. There's also a long hallway at the end that
helps contextualize Parma itself, with 19th-century street scenes and lots of repro-
ductions of old maps and portraits of the Farnese dukes.
