The Camera di San Paolo (Chamber of Saint Paul) is a renowned masterpiece of Renaissance art painted by the Italian artist Antonio Allegri da Correggio, commonly known as Correggio. This chamber is located within the former Benedictine convent of San Paolo in Parma, Italy. The frescoes were commissioned by the abbess Giovanna da Piacenza in 1519 and completed by Correggio in 1520.

The centerpiece of the Camera di San Paolo is the illusionistic dome, painted with a trompe-l'œil pergola that opens up to a vivid blue sky. The oculus of the dome is encircled by a ring of putti and a garland of greenery, creating a playful and engaging visual effect that suggests the architecture is open to the heavens. The lunettes below the dome are adorned with monochrome images of saints and sibyls, which are rendered in a classical style that reflects the humanist interests of the abbess.

The walls of the chamber are decorated with frescoes that depict an array of secular and mythological themes, including the goddess Diana, reflecting the personal tastes and intellectual pursuits of the convent's inhabitants. The inclusion of Diana, the goddess of the hunt, is a reference to the name of the abbess, Giovanna da Piacenza, as "Diana" was her nickname within the convent.

Correggio's work in the Camera di San Paolo is celebrated for its innovative use of perspective and light, which was groundbreaking at the time and contributed to the development of illusionistic ceiling painting. The frescoes demonstrate Correggio's mastery of foreshortening and his ability to create a sense of depth and three-dimensionality on a flat surface. The Camera di San Paolo is considered one of the artist's most significant works and is an important example of High Renaissance art in northern Italy.

Today, the Camera di San Paolo is a key attraction for visitors to Parma and is protected as part of the city's artistic heritage. Its frescoes have been the subject of extensive study and conservation efforts, ensuring that Correggio's artistry can be appreciated by future generations.
