摘要：This paper will analyze two specific artworks by Parmigianino, the Bardi Altarpiece and his Design for an Altarpiece in its Frame completed toward the beginning of his artistic career. Through the theoretical analysis of Jacques Derrida and Jean-Pierre Warnier, Parmigianino’s execution of parergon and ergon, containing, and the artistic elements which he employs in his artworks, I will assert that these two works were created with the intent to be viewed together. These pieces of Parmigianino’s art will shine light onto the artist’s creative process and his understanding of the mimetic nature of frames, centre and periphery, as well as display his architectural vocabulary. In addition to this, I will be arguing against the assertion of Mary Vaccaro, and the support of David Ekserdjian that she receives, that the art pieces were not intended to go together by dissecting her argument of why they should not, resulting in an updated and more critical analysis by A. E. Popham. The similarities and connections that the two works have are too intertwined to not inherently go together: in this case, they are the harmonious amalgamation of ergon and parergon.
