Nativity With Angels
''Nativity with Angels'' is a c.1525 oil on panel painting by Parmigianino, now in the Galleria Doria-Pamphili in Rome. Its shape and dimensions show it to form a diptych with the Doria Madonna in the same gallery. It appears in Tonci's 1794 description of the Galleria Doria and may be the work mentioned in Vasari's ''Lives of the Artists'' as "Madonna and Child, some angels and a Saint Joseph" produced in Rome for Luigi Gaddi. These mentions and stylistic similarities to other early works such as '' Female Saint with Two Angels'' (Städel Museum) and the Fontanellato frescoes place it in his first years in Rome. The sfumato technique and complex orchestration of looks and gestures is reminiscent of Coreggio, a strong influence on Parmigianino early in his career.

Parmigianino
Girolamo Francesco Maria Mazzola (11 January 150324 August 1540), also known as Francesco Mazzola or, more commonly, as Parmigianino (, , ; "the little one from Parma"), was an Italian Mannerist painter and printmaker active in Florence, Rome, Bologna, and his native city of Parma. His work is characterized by a "refined sensuality" and often elongation of forms and includes ''Vision of Saint Jerome'' (1527) and the iconic if somewhat anomalous ''Madonna with the Long Neck'' (1534), and he remains the best known artist of the first generation whose whole careers fall into the Mannerist period. His prodigious and individual talent has always been recognised, but his career was disrupted by war, especially the Sack of Rome in 1527, three years after he moved there, and then ended by his death at only 37. He produced outstanding drawings, and was one of the first Italian painters to experiment with printmaking himself. While his portable works have always been keenly collected and ...

Galleria Doria-Pamphili
The Doria Pamphilj Gallery is a large art collection housed in the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj in Rome, Italy, between Via del Corso and Via della Gatta. The principal entrance is on the Via del Corso (until recently, the entrance to the gallery was from the Piazza del Collegio Romano). The palace façade on Via del Corso is adjacent to a church, Santa Maria in Via Lata. Like the palace, it is still privately owned by the princely Roman family Doria Pamphili. Tours of the state rooms often culminate in concerts of Baroque and Renaissance music, paying tribute to the setting and the masterpieces it contains. Collection The large collection of paintings, furniture and statuary has been assembled since the 16th century by the Doria, Pamphilj, Landi and Aldobrandini families now united through marriage and descent under the simplified surname Doria Pamphilj. The collection includes paintings and furnishings from Innocent X's Palazzo Pamphilj (in Piazza Navona), who bequeathed them to h ...

Female Saint With Two Angels
''Female Martyr with Two Angels'' is a c.1523-1524 oil on panel painting by Parmigianino, now in the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, to which it was donated in 1913 by Baroness Emilie Margarethe Beaulieu-Marconnay, member of a family of bankers and art patrons in the city. Two early copies survive, one in the Galleria nazionale di Parma and the other in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, in which a toothed wheel (attribute of Catherine of Alexandria) is added beside the female saint. The Vienna painting was previously considered an autograph work and that in Frankfurt as a copy, but in 1932 art historians reversed their opinion after an X-ray revealed a fine under-drawing under pesanti and re-paintings on the Frankfurt work. All art historians except Copertini (1945-1950) and Frölich-Bum (1953) now hold the Frankfurt work to be autograph. Freedberg dated the work to around 1524 based on comparison with the Doria Madonna (Galleria Doria-Pamphili) and the portrait of Paola Gonz ...
