Herod and Herodias appear at the right of the composition. Sitting at a table painted in foreshortened perspective, they look on—the king with a stupefied expression—as Salome presents them with the payment for her dance: John the Baptist’s head on a platter(Mark, 6 21-29). The skillfully lit architectural background clearly recalls Venice. The other figures in the scene are standing, which contri
Dibujo en el que se representa en el centro, arrodillado, el Santo rodeado de los sayones que le arrojan piedras.

The pose of the Evangelist, seated on a mound in a landscape, with one leg astride the back of the ox, his attribute, recalls the painted figure of St. Luke in one of four irregularly shaped compartments of Evangelists at the corners of the ceiling of the destroyed church of S. Nicolo della Lattuga ai Frari, decorated by Paolo Veronese and his school in 1580-1581, and now in the Basilica of SS. Gi
The traditional attribution to Castello, which appears in an old inscription on the reverse of the mount, needs to be taken seriously. Not only is the pen work reminiscent of Castello´s handling of the medium, but also there are some echoes in style of Castello´s pen studies from a recently rediscovered album of drawings by the master in a private collection (Newcome, 1995, pp. 197-208). Especiall
The old attribution to Ansaldo is unquestionably correct, and the economical pen-and-wash style corresponds precisely with that of his documented drawings in the same technique, for example the Birth of St. John the Baptist in the Kunsthalle, Hamburg, which is a study for his picture inS. Giovanni Battista, Loano, datable towards the end of Ansaldo´s career (inv. no. 52198; Binghamton and Wo
This preparatory drawing for the etching Capricho 5, Two of a Kind (G02093) is part of The Dreams, a series of twenty-six pen-and-ink drawings that serve as the basis for the Caprichos in the first stage of its creation. The subject matter was common in depictions of that period. At first glance, the preparatory drawing might seem to be a simple genre scene—a lady being courted by a gentleman whil
When the Virgin Mary was three years old her parents, Anna and Joachim, led her to the Temple of Jerusalem. There the young Virgin, without the assistance of her parents, climbed the staircase leading to the priest, who, surrounded by the women of the temple, embraced and blessed her.The episode is contained in the Gospel of James and in the Golden Legend (c.1250). Since the 1960s this drawing has
This preparatory drawing for the etching Capricho 7, God forgive her: Even thus he cannot make her out (G02095) is part of The Dreams, a series of twenty-six pen-and-ink drawings that serve as the basis for the Caprichos in the first stage of its creation. The composition is similar to the final print, although two figures and the construction in the background are missing from the latter. The su
La Virgen sentada en primer termino sostiene al Niño Jesús sobre sus rodillas, ante ella en el suelo un mantel con viandas; al fondo, San José y a la derecha San Juanito. Es dibujo característico de della Rovere y uno de los mejores y más concluidos que han llegado hasta nosotros; a pesar de ello, no se relaciona con ninguna de sus obras pictóricas conocidas.

Dibujo en el que se representa ante un fondo de paisaje, en primer termino, arrodillada, a Santa Catalina a quien el Niño entrega el anillo.

This drawing was first identified by Manuela Mena Marqués as a preparatory study for Prophet Jeremiah, one of a group of six prophets painted in fresco by Guercino for the cupola of Piacenza’s cathedral in 1627. Sir Denis Mahon, the renowned Guercino scholar, had separately noted other studies relating to the same commission, including some related to the figure of Jeremiah.Commissioned by

Classified as anonymous in the collections of Brun (?) and Fernández Durán. The figures correspond, with differences, to those in the bottom right of Bastianino´s fresco of the Last Judgment, painted in 1577.80 in the apse of Ferrara Cathedral. The Ferrara Cathedral fresco, the painter´s masterpiece, shows the impact on Bastianino of Michelangelo´s paintings in the Sistine Chapel, wh
La composición, terminada en una forma mixtilínea, representa en primer término, Jesucristo arrodillado se apoya en unas rocas; a su izquierda un ángel volando, le ofrece el cáliz.

International Language is the preparatory drawing for the well-known Capricho 43, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, and it bears the marks of having been transferred to the copper plate.
